Overview: New Yorker Harvey Shine is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss who has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter's wedding, but promises to be back on Monday morning for an important meeting - or more. Harvey arrives in London only to learn her daughter had chosen to have his stepfather walk her down the aisle instead of him. Doing his best to hide his devastation, he leaves before the wedding reception with the hope of reaching the airport on time, but loses his plane anyway. When he calls his boss to explain, is fired on the spot. Drowning their sentences in the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate, a bit tricky, 40-something employee of the National Bureau of Statistics. Kate, whose life is confined to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from his mother asphyxiation, is played by Harvey, who is energized by his intelligence and compassion. The growing relationship between the couple inspires as much as an unexpectedly transform the life of another.
