Synopsis of Like Dandelion Dust
Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino and Barry Pepper star in My Date with Drew director Joe Gunn's heart-wrenching tale of a recently released ex-con who uses a legal loophole to locate his son, who was adopted by an upper-crust family shortly after his father was incarcerated. When Rip Porter (Pepper) went to prison, his wife Wendy (Sorvino) couldn't handle the responsibilities of being a single parent. Wanting the best for her newborn son Joey, she put the boy up for adoption. Adopted by Jack (Cole Hauser and Molly Campbell (Kate Levering), Joey now enjoys a idyllic life with his new parents in a small town just outside of West Palm Beach, Florida. Then, one day, Jack and Molly receive a troubling phone call from the social worker who assisted with the adoption: Rip has just been released from prison, and he's eager to start a new life with his wife Wendy and son Joey (Maxwell Perry Cotton). A judge has just issued a ruling stating that the Campbell's have no choice but to return Joey to his biological parents, but what if Jack and Molly were simply to disappear with Joey, like dandelion dust, never to be seen again? Adapted from the best-selling novel by Karen Kingsbury. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
