Will è un single, vicino ai quarant’anni: vive di rendita e il suo unico scopo nella vita sembra essere continuare a non fare niente, impiegando la maggior parte del suo tempo a cercare nuove conquiste femminili. Infatti un giorno si reca ad un incontro di genitori single, fingendosi “ragazzo-padre” solo per conquistare qualche donna sola: invece si troverà suo malgrado coinvolto nella vita di una di queste, e soprattutto di suo figlio, Marcus.
