Overview
The series follows Woodley (portrayed by Frank Woodley), a well-meaning but clumsy and disorderly father to his seven-year-old daughter, Ollie (Alexandra Cashmere). Having recently gone through a divorce, Woodley harbors a quiet hope of rekindling his relationship with his ex-wife Em (Justine Clarke), who has since moved forward with her new partner Greg (Tom Long). Greg embodies the steadiness that Woodley lacked during their marriage and quickly integrates into their family dynamic. Woodley finds it difficult to come to terms with Em’s new relationship while striving to demonstrate that he is still deserving of her affection. Ollie is deeply attached to her father, and Woodley is committed to preserving their close connection. As Em plans a future with Greg, Woodley faces the challenge of winning her back before it becomes too late.
