Emily er 29 år, lærer og så har hun brug for, at hendes far tror på, at hendes liv er en succes. Han forlod måske familien, da hun var barn, og svigtede hende, da hun havde allermest brug for ham, men hendes liv er perfekt på trods af ham.

Og netop som hun troede, at det ikke kunne blive værre, dukker hendes far op på hendes dørtrin. Emily kan ikke bære at fortælle sin far, at hendes liv er faldet fra hinanden.
