Goodrich

Andy Goodrich, a 60-year-old art dealer from Los Angeles, faces a deep personal and professional crisis. His boutique gallery is struggling, and his relationship with his family is almost non-existent, highlighting his emotional disconnect.

One fateful night, Andy receives a troubling call from his younger wife, Naomi, who reveals that she has committed herself to a 90-day rehab program due to her addiction to prescription pills. In a moment of anger and fear, she tells Andy she wants a divorce, which leaves him reeling with guilt and confusion.

With Naomi away, Andy finds himself ineffectively navigating the challenges of parenting their nine-year-old twins, Billie and Mose. He struggles to manage their routine, often missing school drop-offs, while trying to protect them from the painful truth of their mother's absence.

Desperate to shield his children from the reality of Naomi's rehab, Andy fabricates a story that she is visiting her mother in St. Louis. However, whispers from classmates soon reveal the truth, exacerbating his feelings of helplessness as a parent.

During this turbulent period, Andy befriends Terry, a fellow parent and part-time actor who is also coping with the heartache of his husband's departure three years prior. Their friendship provides Andy with much-needed support and a sounding board for his struggles.

Striving to mend his fractured relationship with Grace, his 36-year-old daughter, Andy reaches out for her help with the twins. Their conversations increase, slowly bridging the gap that years of neglect created, though unresolved tensions linger.

As Andy tries to reconnect, he learns that Grace is pregnant with her first child, a situation he views with mixed emotions, especially toward her husband Pete, whom he does not fully approve of. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to their relationship.

Simultaneously, Andy faces disheartening news from his accountant about the gallery's financial situation. As artists struggle to generate enough revenue amidst high overhead costs, Andy becomes increasingly anxious to rectify the situation before it's too late.

To revitalize his business, Andy focuses on obtaining artwork from the estate of the late Teresa Thompson through her daughter, Lola. After extensive negotiations, he finally secures the agreement that he hopes will save his gallery.

Just as Andy thinks he has turned a corner, Lola unexpectedly retracts her agreement to sell her mother's art, forcing him to shut down the gallery. This setback leaves Andy contemplating his uncertain future and his role as a father and business owner.

On Christmas Eve, in a shocking twist, Naomi returns home, claiming to feel better but still wanting a divorce. This unexpected visit rattles Andy, further complicating his life as he balances his responsibility toward his children.

In a moment of frustration, Grace confronts Andy at the doctor's office after he forgets to pick her up for an important appointment. Their fight reveals deep-seated resentments stemming from Andy's past neglect, just as Grace goes into premature labor.

A frantic Andy rushes Grace to the hospital as they prepare for her to give birth. The situation becomes tense when doctors express concerns over the baby's heart rate, leading to discussions of an emergency c-section, while Pete provides a calming presence.

Despite the initial concerns, Grace successfully delivers a healthy baby girl, and Andy witnesses the birth with overwhelming emotion. He realizes that this new life will have the loving father he lacked, bringing a sense of hope and renewal.

In a touching moment, Andy cradles his newborn granddaughter while Billie and Mose watch in awe. This new addition to the family symbolizes a fresh start and a newfound connection for Andy as he embraces his role in their lives.
