...a story about a mentally handicapped father and his efforts to retain 

custody of his daughter.




Sam Dawson has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. He works at a 

Starbucks and is obsessed with the Beatles. He has a daughter with 

a homeless woman; she abandons them as soon as they leave the 

hospital. He names his daughter Lucy Diamond (after the Beatles 

song), and raises her. But as she reaches age 7 herself, Sam's 

limitations start to become a problem at school; she's intentionally 

holding back to avoid looking smarter than him. The authorities take 

her away, and Sam shames high-priced lawyer Rita Harrison into 

taking his case pro bono. In the process, he teaches her a great deal 

about love, and whether it's really all you need.
