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