Kyle Greenbecker had spent a year working on an oil pipeline in Alaska and was excited to reunite with his wife, Lisa. However, upon his return, he discovered a baby abandoned on his kitchen table with a note accusing him of being the father. Lisa left him, believing he cheated on her, despite Kyle’s insistence he had been faithful.
Determined to care for the baby girl, whom he named Lily, Kyle adjusted to fatherhood with the help of online tutorials. Two years later, Lily’s biological mother, Cherish, showed up, wanting Lily back for financial gain. This led to a court battle where Cherish and Burt, Lily’s biological father, sought custody.
During the hearing, Cherish’s true motives were revealed when she admitted she only wanted Lily because Burt had signed a lucrative sports contract. The judge, seeing Kyle’s genuine love for Lily and her attachment to him, granted Kyle full custody. That night, Kyle celebrated his victory with Lily, spending the evening catching lightning bugs in the garden. For Kyle, the brightest star of all was his little girl.
