Daruma

DARUMA tells the story of Patrick (Tobias Forrest) discovering he has a daughter as the result of a one-night-stand he forgot about prior to becoming paralyzed. He takes the girl, Camilla (Victoria Scott), with the promise of a payout only to quickly learn that he can’t parent her as she needs. He then enlists the help of his cantankerous neighbor Robert (John W. Lawson) to take her to live with her maternal grandparents (Barry Bostwick) on the other side of the country. Along the way discovers the redemption he’s been seeking his entire life and resolves to better himself so that he can be the father that Camilla deserves.
