Living off his father’s money, Will (Hugh Grant) is an irresponsible Londoner who relentlessly pursues a variety of women, going as far as to create an imaginary son for himself so he can attend single parent meetings. When he meets troubled twelve-year-old Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), the two form a bond, as Will coaches Marcus through school and Marcus helps Will to finally grow up.
