Scott, a loving father of four, began a new stage of tragedy when he was diagnosed with cancer. Scott collects a trusted set of role models that include Anthony, his older friend, Larry, and Oliver. These people are a group of role models who agree to dedicate themselves to supporting and directing the amazing Scott family in the event that he is unable to do all of that.
