由于妈妈与她的新一任丈夫要完成天主教的仪式八岁的安东尼与他酗酒的父亲一起度过的一个不易的周末，不幸父亲的房子被房东锁住，工具箱也被窃取，父子二人互相配合寻找解决问题的方法，这令沃特成为了一个更好的父亲，同时预示着安东尼将来也会成为一个正直的人。

Eight year old Anthony is somewhat uneasy about spending the weekend with his alcoholic, down-on-his-luck carpenter dad Walt while his mom Bonnie and her new husband Kyle go to a Catholic retreat together. Walt is just as uneasy about spending time with Anthony, especially since their first day together is a series of characteristically unfortunate events, including his truck breaking down, his landlord locking him out of the house, and the theft of his toolbox, which he needs for an upcoming job. As Walt and Anthony set about finding the guy who stole the tools and improvise around their other misfortunes, they begin to discover a true connection with each other, causing Walt to become a better father and Anthony to reveal the promise and potential of the good man he will become.
