Although Matt Fleming's (Jason London) own life is a bit of a mess, he agrees to help his mother (Mel Harris) deal with her father, Matt's grandfather (Ed Asner), who's retreated to a cabin in the forest and appears to be acting irrationally, squandering his fortune on vacant property. Matt hesitantly pays a visit to Grandpa's wilderness home, where he learns some surprising lessons about life, love and his own priorities.
