But his life takes a dramatic turn when he finds out that he could be the father of 18-year-old Steven, the son of former lover Dionne Martin and Steven arrange to meet, and Martin is determined to make a good first impression. His best friend Jean thinks that his mimicry will impress Steven, but Martin is not convinced and instead decides to ask for a promotion at work.

Finally, Martin and Steven pay an awkward visit to the DNA clinic to find out the truth. Unfortunately this only leaves Martin feeling more concerned about his worth as a father. Is he Steven's dad?
