The documentary focuses on parents who go the extra mile to care for their children. They include Rob, who swapped life on the road as a long-haul trucker to become the primary carer to his four-year-old daughter Chelsea, who was born with a serious kidney disorder and has spent more than 200 nights of her life in hospital. Meanwhile, Shafak is bringing up four children by herself, including Eman, who also has a kidney condition, meaning more than a cupful of water a day could kill her. The seven-year-old is drinking more than her allowance - so Shafak must be a loving mother and disciplinarian at the same time.
