Tyler Perry turns the familiar
Cinderella tale on its head with this story concerning a successful female attorney who falls in love with a financially strapped mechanic.
Monty (
Idris Elba) is struggling mechanic and single father of three from a poor neighborhood. Upon learning that custody of his beloved daughters has been awarded to his morally bankrupt, drug-dealing ex-wife
Jennifer (
Tasha Smith), desperate
Monty enlists the aid of beautiful Ivy league-educated lawyer
Julia (
Gabrielle Union) -- whom he recently met during his brief stint as a chauffeur -- in ensuring that his daughters remain with him in a stable and loving environment. Despite the vast social and economical differences that divide them,
Monty and
Julia soon begin to find themselves unexpectedly falling in love with one another as they work together to save
Monty's daughters from a life of crime and corruption. Now, in order to reconcile their blossoming romance and overcome the forces that threaten to destroy the only thing that
Monty holds dear, the concerned father and powerful lawyer will have to bridge the gap that divides them by coming together to prove that true love really does have the power to prevail.
