D'origine modeste, John Crowley a finalement réussi dans les affaires. Il mène une carrière brillante, soutenu par sa femme Aileen et leurs trois enfants. Mais juste au moment où le succès lui sourit, Crowley apprend que ses deux plus jeunes enfants, Megan et Patrick, sont atteints d'une maladie incurable. Face à l'absence de soins adaptés, Crowley décide de se jeter dans ce combat à sa façon. Il abandonne tout pour faire équipe avec le Dr Robert Stonehill, un scientifique brillant mais controversé. Ensemble, ils créent une société de biotechnologie pour développer un médicament qui pourrait sauver bien des vies, à commencer par celles de Megan et Patrick.

Now in his sixties, Joe is released from the hospital after a long battle with pneumonia and forced to confront the harsh reality of his legacy: everyone he knew had assumed he was dead, and life had gone on around him without missing a beat. Returning to his old neighborhood in Chicago's 'Patch' district, he finds his car gone, all his worldly possessions pawned by his landlord, and the apartment he's lived in his entire adult life rented out to a single mother and her eight-year-old daughter.

Meet nine-year-old Kelly Marble. She never really meant to kill her parents.
