Having reached the lowest point in his life and on the brink of demise, self-destructive outcast Richie desperately wants out. However, as nothing is over yet, an unexpected call from his estranged sister Maggie offers a new lease of life, although it is only a fleeting one. Strange as it may seem--as Richie is the last person she would ever call--distraught Maggie needs Richie, of all the people, to look after her young daughter Sophia for the night. However, as the two alienated relatives timidly reconnect under New York's silvery night lights, much to their surprise, a subtle and delicate relationship starts to bloom. Could this be the beginning of a new reality?
