Eddie Avedon’s shot at a prestigious movie part, his ticket out of playing Mulligan the bunny in a children’s TV show, is ruined after a car accident with single mother Annie Benchley, which keeps haunting them. The part is promised to Avedon’s lousy house-mate Scott Dunbar. Yet Eddie becomes friends with Annie and her young daughter, avid Mulliga-fan Taylor, and even sticks his neck out to arrange surgery for her blinding condition.
