A father’s abrasive nature, portrayed as both caustic and funny, is aggravated by memory loss, prompting the past and the present to clash. While the traditional father and his homosexual son finally confront the life milestones that forced them apart, they lead us through a bittersweet journey born from the shambles of anger and bitterness.

John (Viggo Mortensen) lives with his partner, Eric (Terry Chen), and their daughter, Mónica (Gabby Velis), in California, far from the traditional rural life he left behind years ago. John's father, Willis (Lance Henriksen), a headstrong man from a bygone era, lives alone on the isolated farm where John grew up. Willis’s mind is declining, so John brings him west, hoping that he and his sister, Sarah (Laura Linney), can help their father find a home closer to them. Their best intentions ultimately run up against Willis’s angry refusal to change his way of life in any way.
