That's Not How It's Done

Paul, and his two friends are caring fathers before brutally tearing them away from their children. Our lead’s suspicious wife contrives an assault charge and sees him arrested and tried for domestic violence. From there, the system encourages her to destroy him, at the expense of their children. Paul loves his kids. He loves his wife. That’s all that mattered to him; and now he finds himself arrested, thrown out of his own home, and sleeping in a friend’s spare bedroom. Where do you go from here? You fight for your kids, you fight to regain a sense of what matters. Ann, Paul’s jealous wife turns on Paul, terrified by knowing he needs something from her she can't provide. What lies beneath her fear? John, Paul’s new house mate, hasn’t fared any better. His kids haven’t had the same address for six months, when they have an address. Most of the time they live on the streets with his druggie ex-wife. And the courts tell him he has no right to see them, but... we can only guess where his child support goes…. Our trio always looks to Marti, to do the right thing, and he never lets them down. Marti’s faith kept him strong, and righteous, but it wasn’t enough to stop him when the hunger for touch grew too great. Caught in the act, he surrenders his home and kids to Cynthia, whose own fears kept her from allowing the intimacy they both needed. Thrown together, the men find humor mixed with the pain from their struggle. Marti discovers that love can heal, even after he nearly dies for it. John’s hookers show him a kind of emotional intimacy he never new existed and the girls never expected. They are all changed for the better. Paul finds strength and a better way to parent in living for himself.
