Nora is een alleenstaande moeder. Samen met haar zoon Michael woont ze in een klein huis. Ze zijn wel niet rijk maar hebben elkaar. Op een dag duikt Nora's vader, Max Dugan, onverwachts op. Hij verliet Nora en haar moeder toen Nora amper 9 was. Hij heeft een koffer vol geld bij zich en probeert Nora en Michael voor zich te winnen met allerlei cadeaus. Hij heeft immers niet veel tijd meer omdat hij lijdt aan een fatale hartkwaal.
Nee, helaas is Max Dugan Returns nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
