Sinopsis Film A Family Man

Dane Jensen is a successful Chicago-based headhunter who works at Blackridge Recruitment agency. His life revolves around closing deals in a competitive corporate environment.

When the film begins, Jensen seems focused on his work, but he is also trying to be a good father figure. His boss, Ed Blackridge, offered him a promotion that would give him control of the company.

To get it, he must surpass the achievements of his ambitious rival, Lynn Wilson. Jensen’s focus on work becomes an obstacle for his family. His wife, Elise, asked for more time with them.

Jensen tries to spend quality time with his oldest son, Ryan, to prepare him for the adult world. Believing that Ryan is on the verge of childhood obesity, she takes him jogging in the morning. Jensen noticed that her son often complained of being tired and had unexplained bruises.

Jensen works harder and spends more time at the office to try to get a promotion, which Elise disapproves of. He asks Jensen to prioritize family. Then, Ryan was diagnosed with cancer, which shook them all.
