Although I have seen it before - I missed the fisrt 10 minutes tonight and can't remember how they ended up in this situation.

Can anyone help me out please?

"In 1981, in San Francisco, the smart salesman and family man Chris Gardner invests the family savings in Osteo National bone-density scanners, an apparatus twice as expensive as an x-ray machine but with a slightly clearer image. This white elephant financially breaks the family, bringing troubles to his relationship with his wife Linda, who leaves him and moves to New York where she has taken a job in a pizza parlor. Their son, Christopher, stays with Chris because he and his wife both know that he will be able to take better care of him."

Hope that helps but I totally forgot it was on tonight so missed it

Thank you juneybean - that's exactly what I needed.

you missed it though.

there's also that thing where he delays paying his taxes while with his wife, then at the worst possible moment when they have split, the taxes are reclaimed directly from his bank account so he has no money.
