Michael&#8217;s off-beat sister, Christina <strong>(Julie Benz<\/strong>), a single mom to her teenaged son, Milo (Liam Aiken), is thrilled that Anna&#8217;s back in her brother&#8217;s life, even as an &#8220;illusion,&#8221; because Michael was always a better person with her. Curious about Michael&#8217;s sudden change in behavior is his efficient assistant, Rita (Margo Martindale). When Anna asks Michael to go to her clinic to help keep it running, he meets Autumn (Afton Williamson), a volunteer carrying on Anna&#8217;s work with the underprivileged. Touched by those in need and accepting of Anna&#8217;s compassionate &#8220;presence,&#8221; Michael&#8217;s attitude toward serving the rich and poor is turned upside down, and he begins to see that there&#8217;s room in his life for everyone.
