Assistant District Attorney Jackie is a single mother to Gracie. Her orderly existence, including boyfriend Rand, is shaken when her absent father, Jack, shows up in town for a funeral. When Jack, who used to be a police officer in town, decides to stay over Christmas, Jackie is forced to deal with her old feelings about her father, but also the dog Nose, a retired police dog that Jack takes on, as well as John, Jack's younger former colleague.
The film would probably have received a 3 from me if it hadn't been for Giselle Eisenberg who plays Jackie's daughter Gracie. She makes a brilliant contribution as the precocious daughter.
