Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne star as Pete and Ellie, respectively, who have a great life with a successful business flipping houses. The only thing they feel is missing is having children. They debate if they are too old, but decide that adoption will be the best choice for them after seeing the heartbreaking videos on an adoption website. They meet with a local adoption agency and after meeting with a few foster kids, they decide to adopt fifteen-year-old Lizzie (Moner) and her younger brother and sister.

After the honeymoon phase wears off, they realize how hard parenting is and what it can be like to foster kids who come in with their own backgrounds and issues.
