Cole Killian is a professional photographer approaching middle age. After meeting an old high school flame and then seeing an advertisement for an orphanage with abandoned teenagers, Cole comes to the conclusion that he has a son there. Under the guise of being a mentor, Cole ingratiates himself into the life of 18 year-old Bo. He makes a skate-boarding film with Bo and his best friend, and he uses Bo's girlfriend as a model in a calendar. All the while Cole is trying to come up with the perfect present for his bratty 13 year-old daughter, and now he may have come up with the ultimate surprise.—napierslogs
