Charlie
Goldwyn's life hasn't exactly gone according to plan. Widowerhood at
thirty-three and twelve-hour workdays have left a gap in his
relationship with his quirky five-year-old son, Caleb, whose obsession
with natural disasters and penchant for girls' clothing have made him
something of a loner at his preschool. The only thing Charlie has going
for him is his job at a prestigious law firm, where he is finally
close to becoming a partner.
But when a slight lapse in judgment
at an office party leaves him humiliatingly unemployed, stuck at home
with Caleb for the summer, and forced to face his own estranged father,
Charlie starts to realize that there's more to fatherhood than
financially providing for his son, and more to being a son than
overtaking his father's successes.
At turns heartbreaking and hilarious, This Was Not the Plan is a story about loss and love, parenthood, and friendship, and what true work-life balance means.
