Married at a young age, Paul takes us on a journey of pain and self-discovery in the hope of finding true love once again after a Divorce.  It is never an easy subject to grasp and often comes with a great deal of stigma but Paul takes up the courage to address a time in his life that has made him the person he is, a father, a husband, a family man. 

Four dads catch up one quiet night at the beach house while the kids sleep. Jake, Carmilo, Ody, and Gerald banter on from how they met as boys and how they are finding themselves now as responsible dads. They share their insights of their expectations on handling their children in the future as well as voicing out encouragement amongst young dads all around the world.
