Raising Hope follows the lives of the Chance family; in particular Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff) whose life takes a drastic turn when he finds out that Lucy, his too-good-to-be-true one-night stand, is wanted for murder.
Months later when Jimmy pays a visit to the local prison he discovers that Lucy gave birth to their baby, who he is now charged with raising
Jimmy Chance is instantly thrown into the world of single parenthood where he looks to his unenthused and inexperienced family and friends for support to help raise his new found daughter…whom he’s decided to call Hope.
His dysfunctional extended family includes plain speaking mother Virginia (Martha Plimpton, (The Goonies),naïve father Burt (Garret Dillahunt), eccentric and rarely lucid great grandmother Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman, Malcolm in the Middle), and crush Sabrina (Shannon Woodward, The Riches), a dryly funny, cynical check-out girl who Jimmy can’t quite muster up the courage to ask out.
Despite being a young man with limited luck in lifeand absolutely no parenting experience, Jimmy is adamant to do his best for his daughter. Only time will tell if Jimmy and the Chances beat the odds and succeed in raising Hope…
Nominated for People’s Choice and Satellite Awards, this laugh-out-loud comedy with a difference will be available for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home on DVD from 5th March 2012.
