It tells the story of a hotshot Chicago real estate developer named Michael Maxwell, who never had time for family. His sister once said he was incapable of love. But when she and her husband have a terrible accident, their house, farm, and four sons become Michael's responsibility. He drives out to their small Ohio town, thinking all he needs to do is sign some papers and get back to the city, but it's not nearly that simple.
With their parents gone, the boys are practically feral. Until the family services worker can find them a home, their only guardian is Uncle Michael. Before he knows it, he is chasing chickens and providing improvised "health" classes. Desperate to free himself from inherited fatherhood, he's both surprised and thrilled to learn his sister trained the boys in ballet. Can that make them cute enough to foster?
