Step Dan is a family drama with comedy elements. The story is based on a relationship between two protagonists, Dan and Tina. Dan is a real minion of fortune. He is 24, handsome, witty and takes his success with women for granted, without ever getting into a serious relationship. Tina is 39, she is a self-made businesswoman and a mother of three children. They have met in unusual circumstances with a rather usual development: a date, then casual sex and no strings attached… Both are totally happy with it until Dan suddenly realizes he has fallen head over heels in love. But can Dan become a stepfather for Tina’s three children? What to do with their grandmother who has not accepted the “pup” from the very start? And how will Tina’s nearest and dearest react to such an obvious misalliance?
