Synopsis:

There's no denying that the acting in 'Like Dandelion Dust', an adoption drama directed by Jon Gunn from a novel by Karen Kingsbury, is superb. Cole Hauser and Kate Levering play a well-off couple whose comfortable lives are jolted when the biological parents of their adopted son try to get the boy back. Mira Sorvino and Barry Pepper play the birth couple, down-and-outers with domestic violence in their past. The four stars, especially the men, are compelling and convincing. You can even apply that description to Maxwell Perry Cotton, the 10-year-old actor who plays the boy. But practically every minute of this story seems like something you've seen or read before, and repeatedly.

The film is based on the novel by New York Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury. Joey lives an idyllic life with his parents on the coast of Florida. His days are spent playing with his cousins and sailing with his dad. It's a perfect life until the day they receive a disturbing phone call: a stranger's decision could tear Joey away from the comfort and security of the only home he's ever known.Starring Academy Award® Winner Mira Sorvino, Golden Globe® Nominee Barry Pepper, and introducing child actor, Maxwell Perry Cotton, Like Dandelion Dust is the story of one family determined to keep the son they love, and another determined to begin a new life, the life they've always dreamed. Joey's future rests in their hands and someone must make the bravest decision of their life.

A compelling drama that explores the different meanings of being a parent through the gritty, realistic lives of the struggling, blue-collar Porters, and the privileged Campbell family. Their lives intersect, intertwine and collide, all for the love of a little boy. This film bravely exposes the humanity in each character reminding us that we each have the potential to be the best and worst versions of ourselves at any time.
