And although Linnea has little interest in her father, she becomes fascinated by the eccentric cast of characters surrounding him- Conner, a local handyman whose own home life is a war zone, and Christie, her neighbor, who has just been given the reins to a bizarrely named charity fund, the Humanity Project.
