- Synopsis
- A white woman has an affair with a married African-American basketball star and challenges him for custody of their mixed-race son. Based on a true story. In Vancouver, black professional basketball star Tyler 'Ty' Rivers has an adulterous affair with white party animal Nicole Alpern. When she announces the pill failed, he questions his paternity and dumps her. A few months after Noah's birth Ty demands his rights a father, supported by his black wife Beverly, with whom he raises two daughters. Only her father remarried stands by Nicole after even lawyer Henry Wong dumps her as an impossibly unpredictable, incorrigible client. Nobody accepts to step in, accept brilliant young attorney Peter Marcheson, who needs high-profile exposure and even does it pro bone. He wins the case, but Ty's lawyer Daniel Gibson takes it to the British Columbia court of Appeal, where he wins based on a racial prejudice experience argumentation. Now only the Supreme Court of Canada could still set a precedent reverting that simplistic approach.
