Kate Hudson stars in this heart-warming comedy as Helen Harris, a very successful modelling agent who spends most of her time going to the glitziest of fashion shows during the day and exclusive clubs at night. Her life is turned upside-down, however, when she receives a phone call telling her that her sister and brother-in law have died in a car accident, leaving her to look after her nieces and nephews, 15-year-old Audrey, 10-year-old Henry, and 5-year-old Sarah. Helen struggles to maintain her wild party-going ways whilst also acting as responsible mother and soon finds that her dream career and lifestyle are slipping away from her, despite the advice she receives from her older sister, Jenny (Cusack).

Before long, however, helps is at hand in the form of Dan Parker (Corbett), the young local pastor and principal of the kids’ new school. Dan immediately falls for Helen, and it seems that, with the kids, they could start a wonderful new life together. All Helen has to do is decide whether or not she is ready to give up the fun, carefree life that she has always wanted, and accept a role as responsible and committed grown-up.
