Ashton Grumfeld is a photojournalist who has spent a lot of years embedded with the troops in Afghanistan, only coming home to visit his sister Amy and her family for a few days at Christmas every year. When Amy and her husband are killed in a freak boat accident, the guardianship of their four children falls to him. Darren Swanson has been nanny to the Grumfeld's children since just before nine year old Diana, the eldest, was born.
When their parents die, he's left on his own with four kids until their uncle can make it out of Afghanistan and get home. It takes almost two weeks before that happens, two weeks of having to deal with newly orphaned children all the while wondering what's going to happen when Ashton finally arrives on the scene. Will Ashton and Darren be able to make a new family as they figure out how they fit together in the children's lives, and each other's? Find out in Family Portrait.
