Her ex-husband John is also trying to revive his showbiz career on the country music scene – 30 years after his three weeks at number one in 1975. So with parents like these and a disabled brother it's hardly surprising life's not always easy for 21 year old Tim who's shy, lives at home and is a disaster with women.When the beautiful and feisty Jill walks into his life things seem to be looking up – except of course Jean Dwight is not the kind of woman to give up her son without a fight. As these two strong woman battle over the man they love questions of family loyalty, the mother-son bond and the power of first love all come into play. The result is a funny and moving journey that proves there are never only two people in a family love story.
