Synopsis

A single father balances his work as an attorney with the care of his five year old son and his work as a high school basketball coach in rural Kansas, where he moved after his wife abandoned him in Chicago. Just as he starts to develop a new relationship with a veterinarian's assistant, his ex-wife suddenly reappears and wants to re-assert herself in her husband and son's life. On top of the romantic conflict, he is also suddenly presented with the opportunity of a lifetime to join a major firm in Dallas.

Cast

Background

A large part of the film was not shot in Kansas, but rather in a little town in Ontario called Lindsay (now part of the city of Kawartha Lakes) as well as the town of Brooklin.

A rejected soundtrack was composed by Mike Mills of R.E.M.
