Oliver (Duffy) is a top advertising executive who seems to have it all - a beautiful wife, three great children and a lovely home. But, one fateful day, his wife announces she's leaving home to become a mature student at a far-away university. Her promise to return on weekends is quickly broken and Oliver must take on the role of both father and mother to his increasingly confused and resentful children. Soon, the family is falling to pieces. The kids blame Oliver for the eventual divorce and eldest son Benjamin drops out of high school to set up home with his newly pregnant girlfriend. The painful death of his own mother is the final straw and a despairing Oliver agrees to take a new job in Los Angeles, hopefully leaving his heartbreak behind. There he meets and falls in love with a beautiful actress (Carter), but will his children ever allow Oliver to rebuild the romance and happiness he yearns for? (Umbrella Entertainment)

A very illusory piece from Steele's collection of rubbish, but one that always gets some attention with its cast. Patrick Duffy was transitioning from Dallas to Step by Step at the time, while Kate Mulgrew was soon to have a career as Captain Kathryn Janeway. We don't need to introduce Ben Affleck, but who's really worth it is the beautiful Lynda Carter, TV's Wonder Woman of the 70s, who was still very much enticing in the early 1990s.
