Seine Geliebte will nicht, dass man sie gemeinsam in der Öffentlichkeit sieht ihre Beziehung ist ihr peinlich.
Und Kyle, der Sohn von Lance, ist ein widerwärtiger, abstoßender Rowdy, der in jeder freien Minute masturbiert, der Mädchen in der Schule nachspioniert und nichts als Spott für seinen Vater übrig hat.
Dann geschieht etwas Unvorhergesehenes, eine Tragödie, die Lances Leben komplett auf den Kopf stellt... und die ihm die Möglichkeit gibt, noch einmal von vorn anzufangen.

English Summary:

Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is a single father and high school English teacher whose biggest fear is that he will one day end up all alone. He dreams of becoming a famous writer, but his previous novels have all been rejected by publishers. His 15-year-old son Kyle (Daryl Sabara) is a pornography-obsessed underachiever who despises and is annoyed by everyone, especially his father. Kyle is a student at the school where Lance teaches an unpopular poetry class. His only friend is Andrew, a fellow student who spends his evenings at the Claytons' house trying to avoid his alcoholic mother. Kyle's consistently poor academic performance and vile behavior gain the attention of the school principal (Geoff Pierson), who advises Lance that Kyle should transfer to a special-needs school. Lance is in a non-committal relationship with a younger teacher named Claire (Alexie Gilmore), who is spending time with a fellow teacher named Mike (Henry Simmons), whose writing class is more successful than Lance's. On nights when Claire cancels their dates and he is alone, Lance bonds with his elderly neighbor Bonnie (Mitzi McCall).
