arrowLogline:

A superstar NFL quarterback and committed bachelor's life changes when he discovers he's a father. He learns this when an ex-girlfriend dies and her 7-year-old daughter shows up on his doorstep because his name is on the birth certificate. The two slowly bond.

arrowPlot Summary:
A story centered around a rugged superstar quarterback Joe Kingman, whose Boston-based team is chasing a championship. A 'serial bachelor', Kingman is living the ultimate fantasy: he's rich, famous and the life of the party. But this dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when he discovers the 7-year-old daughter he never knew he had—the product of a final fling he had, years prior, before parting ways with his young wife. Now, during the most important time in his career, he must figure out how to juggle his parties, practices and dates with the newfound ballet classes, bedtime stories and dolls that come with his daughter. Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella, herself without a parental bone in her body. Despite the often comedic misadventures that come with being a new father, Joe discovers that there's more to life than money, endorsements and thousands of adoring fans: the love and care of one very special small fan is the only thing that matters.
