When Noel learns that his terminally ill former flame is
pregnant with his child, he agrees to take guardianship of
the baby girl once she’s born. But as a single father
battling demons of his own, Noel can’t do it alone.
Fortunately, he has a competent, caring network of friends,
family and neighbors: Lisa, his unlucky-in-love classmate,
who moves in with him to help him care for little Frankie
around the clock; his American cousin, Emily, always there
with a pep talk; the newly retired Dr. Hat, with more time
on his hands than he knows what to do with; Dr. Declan and
Fiona and their baby son, Frankie’s first friend; and many
eager babysitters, including old friends Signora and Aidan
and Frankie’s doting grandparents, Josie and Charles.
But not everyone is pleased with the unconventional
arrangement, especially a nosy social worker, Moira, who is
convinced that Frankie would be better off in a foster home.
Now it’s up to Noel to persuade her that everyone in town
has something special to offer when it comes to minding Frankie.
