Thirty-eight-year-old Pete Mitchell declares to his sons how fortunate they are to grow up with their father. He reveals to his first and third-grade boys that he does not know his dad. He seeks the help of Nigel, his cousin, to find the man who shares the responsibility of his coming into the world. His father left the Caribbean community where he grew up before Pete was born.In his attempts to locate his father, Pete realizes that cooperation from Nigel and other family members is hard to get. With the lack of assistance, in finding his father, Pete gets creative with his search. Soon, he learns his absent father lives in England. In addition, he discovers Nigel plans to visit his own relatives in London and will try to get any information about the whereabouts of Pete’s father. Pete anxiously waits for Nigel to return so he can get his father’s address and phone number. However, he experiences another setback when Nigel returns and decides to keep a promise he made - a pledge not to give out Pete’s Dad’s contact information.Pete gets word about Dale and Ella, his siblings. Also, he finds out his seventy-two-year-old father had a stroke and is a widower. He searches for his father on the Internet and arranges to travel to London to meet him.What should be a happy family reunion is marred by bitterness between the siblings, who resent Pete re-entering their father’s life. When there is a struggle over inheritance, all hell breaks loose, and family matters end up in court.
