But just as Elinor and fiancé Tonio plan their garden wedding, Elinor's mother Betsy arrives, seeking alternative cancer treatment and putting their nuptials on hold. What Elinor and sister Saffron also want to stop is Betsy obsessing over their late father's illegitimate son-known on adoption papers only as "Baby Boy". Betsy wants to find him. Elinor and Saffron object. Betsy has to focus on her health. And what if their lost half-brother turns out to be a thief or a murderer? Only Betsy believes something good can come from locating him. While the family argues, "Baby Boy" finds them. Daniel Perdue infiltrates the Greene family disguised as a handyman to find out just how wealthy his original family is and whether he can claim a share. As he observes his family, he yearns to leave behind his life of petty crime and join them. When Daniel reveals his identity as a member of this family, his shady past catches up with him, and now his very existence endangers them all.
