Luckily for him there also is Will, a 36 year-old  single man, who doesn’t have to work, doesn’t want to have children, doesn’t want to take any responsibilities, but sees the point of single mothers. So he invents a 2 year-old son and joins a single parent group.

When Marcus meets Will, he sees at once  that Will isn’t a single father. As they come home from a  single parent-with-child-picnic Marcus’ mother has tried to commit suicide, so Marcus thinks he has to do something. What could be better than getting her married with Will?

Will doesn’t like that idea, but at least he can help Marcus not to get bullied at school. He can tell him that Kurt Cobain isn’t a football player, but the lead singer of Nirvana, as Ellie, 16 years old and always in trouble for something bad she did at school. Ellie thinks Marcus hilarious, so she hangs out with him and they soon become friends and things get very turbulent……
