This telefilm, co-produced by the End Hunger Network, centers on the plight of widowed dad Bill Januson and his two kids. Bill, who lacks a high school diploma and marketable skills, is flat broke, and forced to take any job to put food on the table. The film concentrates on how the Janusons's situation also affects the middle-class -- and clueless -- Millerton family, whose well-meaning attempts to help the Janusons often have mixed results.
