Drama
The Grants - father Woody, mother Kate, and adult sons Ross and David -
live in Billings, Montana. Aged Woody is approaching dementia, although
the family likes to think that he solely believes what appears on the
surface, Woody's delusions which are exacerbated by a lifetime of heavy
drinking. The latest belief that Woody has is that he has won $1
million, which everyone in his family knows is one of those scams for
people to purchase magazine subscriptions. As such, Woody, who does not
trust the US postal service to mail in his "winning" certificate, is
determined to walk to Lincoln, Nebraska, the headquarters of the
company, to pick up his $1 million. All he really wants with the money
is to buy a new pickup truck - something he's never had and despite the
fact that he should no longer be driving - buy an air compressor to
replace the one stolen from him decades earlier, and to leave a little
legacy to Ross and David. Younger son David, an electronics salesman who
has just broken up with his girlfriend and thus needs a distraction,
agrees to drive Woody to Lincoln just to humor him, but not before
making a stop in Hawthorne, Nebraska - Woody and Kate's hometown - for a
family reunion, which will include news anchor Ross and acerbic tongued
Catholic Kate in a few days. David does not want Woody to tell anyone
in Hawthorne of the "$1 million", but news of such does get out. This
news colors Woody and David's interactions with their relatives and old
friends and colleagues, including with Woody's old business partner, Ed
Pegram. But this time in Hawthorne is also an illuminating one for
David, who learns much about Woody and why he is the way he has always
been, and about his parent's relationship as it concerns himself and
Ross.
