) could not live with the chaos but Woodley secretly hopes that one day he will win her back and they will be a family again. But with Em's new boyfriend Greg (
Tom Long) on the scene, it is not going to be easy. For Em, Greg is reliable and focused, everything that Woodley was not while they were married, and it does not take long for Greg to slip easily into the fabric of their lives. Woodley struggles to come to terms with Em's new relationship and endeavours to prove to Em that he is still worthy of her love. Ollie loves her dad and Woodley is determined to never let her down or lose the special spot in her heart that she holds just for him. But as Greg's affection for Em grows, and Em in turn sees a possible future with him, will Woodley be able to win Em back before it is too late?
