Matt and Liz Logelin, who have known each other since childhood, are getting ready to become parents for the first time. A short time after giving birth to their daughter Maddy, Liz unexpectedly has a pulmonary embolism and passes away from it.
Matt is inconsolable, yet he is resolute in his intention to bring up Maddy all by himself. However, his loved ones and acquaintances are worried that he would be unable to handle Maddy’s upbringing alone due to a lack of experience or patience. Marion, Liz’s mother, who has a strained connection with Matt, is the one who feels this the most deeply. She is the one who brought it up.
