Me and Luke is the heart-warming story about a young father, Matt Blessing (Kristopher Turner), and his reluctance to give up his new born son.
Matt is only nineteen
and when he goes to the hospital to see his baby he discovers that his young
girlfriend, Megan Eubanks (Emma Taylor-Isherwood), has already made arrangements
for a couple to the adopt their baby boy.
Matt has no family in
his life as his father left when he was seven and he had an estranged
relationship with his mother, Lisa (Carolyn Dunn).
But when he sees Luke
for the first time, like fathers the world over, he falls in love with him, and
he finally feels that family connection that he'd longed for.
With no means to stop
the imminent adoption Matt takes Luke out of the hospital to his grandmother's
house.
He hasn’t seen Glennie
(Louise Fletcher) since he was a small boy when his mother and grandmother
parted on bad terms.
Nonetheless the three
form a family unit of sorts and along with Glennie’s friend, Bert (Jack
Shepherd) they fight to stay together as a family.
