I was looking for an entertaining wallbanger/trainwreck. This qualified on the wallbanger/trainwreck front, but it wasn't nearly entertaining enough. The premise had potential, but the execution left me kinda blah. Part of the problem may be me. I'm a programmer, so all the inconsistencies bugged the crap out of me.
The H, Dawson, whose nickname is 'Dos' is a programming genius. He wrote some sort of revolutionary operating system while in college and showed it to his boss during a summer internship. The boss, being a slimy POS, stole his work and sold it as his own. And then claimed that Dos had never shown him anything.
Dos was angry and rightly so. He wrote an even better operating system 'Dos Enabled' (lol - "DOS" was revolutionary 30+ years ago) and made uber $. But, he was still obsessed with vengeance against his former boss. He learns the man has a 19-year-old daughter, Sarah, and decides he'll use her for vengeance. He seduces her, marries her, and then just after consummating the marriage he calls her father (in front of Sarah) and basically says he's had his fun with the "chubby little nugget" but now he'll be returning her.
Turns out Dos made a serious miscalculation in his revenge. He assumed that Daddy gave a crap. He didn't. When Dos has Sarah delivered back home, her Dad promptly throws her out. Dos' conscience pricks him that evening and he goes looking for her, but finds she's gone without a trace.
Poor unloved, downtrodden Sarah had wandered the street until a good Samaritan gave her a ride to a nearby town. Then she lived on the streets until directed to a homeless shelter. She finds out she's pregnant and proceeds to support herself and later her little girl with low paying jobs. Apparently, her rich Daddy wouldn't even send her to college since he hated her so much for not being a boy which left her with few options for employment.
When the little girl is 3 1/2 she is diagnosed with a hole in the heart and desperately needs rare AB- blood before she can have surgery. Sarah reluctantly contacts Dos, since apparently no other donor can be found.
Dos is a real piece of work. Turns out he'd never divorced Sarah, because deep down he truly loved her. So, he comes in guns blazing and convinces Sarah that he won't give the child blood unless she agrees to sign a contract to come live with him, have sex with him, and grant him full custody of the child if she leaves. She's desperate, worried about her child, and thinks he's a monster so she doesn't doubt he'll withhold his blood. She signs. Actually he's bluffing, but she can't be blamed for assuming the worst.
He's supposedly trying to win Sarah back, but blows up at her at every turn and conveniently forgets she has every reason to hate and mistrust him. Also, he is constantly speaking to his conscience 'Jiminy Cricket' and often answering him out loud. He's the furthest thing from sexy I can think of. He needed anger management and counseling in general.
This could have been fun in an over-the-top, train wrecky way. There were so many absurd elements, i.e. the evil housekeeper secretly in the pay of the insane wannabe OW, not to mention the lascivious contract Sarah had to sign. But mostly it's just boring, back and forth bickering, lots of focus on the little girl, and Dos acting like a jackass and then arguing with his inner voice. I admit I did a lot of skimming because so much of the bickering wasn't even between the H/h it was between Sarah and the evil housekeeper. :-/
