A mom who has different plans abandons our innocent father and daughter. Sam is asked to name his child and he makes his first of several Beatle dedications by calling her Lucy. The details are thin, but that is not the point of this plot. Her birth is the result of a one-night stand with a “homeless” woman. He dashes off from his job to arrive at the hospital just in time to see his daughter being born.

With a little help from his friends (who have similar mental challenges) along with advice from a sweet middle-aged woman in another apartment, Sam manages to keep his daughter fed and clothed. His obsession with everything Beatles results in the moniker Lucy Diamond Dawson (Dakota Fanning) for his infant daughter. However, it doesn’t stop him from fathering a child after the softhearted man offeres a homeless woman a place to sleep.
