John e Jenny sono sposi nell'inverno gelido del Michigan. Innamorati e ansiosi di intraprendere una vita insieme si trasferiscono nella più calda Florida, dove trovano il lavoro e la casa dei loro sogni. Occupati per testate giornalistiche diverse, i coniugi Grogan progettano in salotto di allargare la famiglia. John, indeciso sulla paternità, fa le prove generali e compra un cucciolo in saldo per il compleanno di Jenny. Battezzato Marley sulle note del cantautore giamaicano, il Labrador biondo travolgerà la vita dei Grogan, "rosicchiando" mobili, progetti e certezze e invitandoli a vivere il presente a dispetto di quello che non è stato e di quello che deve ancora essere. Dopo Marley arriverà un bastimento carico di figli, guai e amore.
