Dan isn't crazy about marrying the 16-year-old girl he got pregnant, but he is excited about the baby he knows is his daughter because she has his red hair. He'll be cut out of her life unless he emigrates from his home in the rural Midwest of the USA to live in a megalopolis -- London, Ontario. Camille isn't keen on marrying Dan, either. He's neither drop-dead good looking, nor wealthy, and not even ambitious. But he's good with kids, and she's stuck not only with a baby, but also a younger brother with behavior problems and a mother who's a wannabe guru.
