Throughout the years prior to their seperation, Max has grown to be a very bitter and angry man that once full of life and quite the charmer. His negative attitude had a ongoing effect on David's mother Lorraine who finally walks out of the marriage and their home from a loveless marriage and seek a job of her own for the first time since she married Max.

David's own life is put on hold so he patch up the relationship between his father- who needs to learn that life itself is about happiness and self-content whereas his mother needs the emotional support and strength from her son and even moreso from her estranged husband. But to add on an already burden, David has the chance of a lifetime to make partner if he make a deal to a airline for his firm. In the middle of focusing on his job, David takes a close look and learn some things about his parents, his childhood and reevaluate his own life and the decisions he is making.
