Although he wonders why she's there, he isn't about to lose another shot, possibly his last, with her. Little does he realize what Lillian is about to bring into his life: pivotal changes more immense than the ocean he sails on every day.When he meets his six-year-old son, Matt has no idea what to do with the boy, but sincerely wants to learn how to be a dad.
