Sam Dawson is een verstandelijk gehandicapte met de mentale leeftijd van een 7-jarige. Hij werkt bij StarBucks en heeft een obsessie voor The Beatles. Hij heeft een dochtertje bij een vrouw, die er vanaf de geboorte vandoor is gegaan. Sam staat dus alleen in voor de opvoeding van de kleine Lucy Diamond, genoemd naar de Beatles-hit. Aanvankelijk verloopt alles vlotjes, maar naarmate Lucy groter wordt, beginnen de problemen. De sociale dienst begint zich er mee te bemoeien en besluit Lucy in een opvanggezin te plaatsen. Voor Sam het begin van een lang proces om het hoederecht over zijn eigen dochter. (RCV Film Distribution)
