Anyone who has ever lost a child to the welfare system knows the frustration and bewilderment of trying to get them back. In extreme cases, the children are better off, but the system does make mistakes, unjustly separating families who are nothing more than victims of circumstance. At least we have a judicial system that allows wrongs to be righted.

Imagine the horror of Desmond Doyle (Pierce Brosnan), a husband and father who makes a marginal living painting and decorating. When Desmond’s wife walks out on him and their three children, he’s forced to seek government assistance.(MGM)
