This is not a story about Love or Cancer, though both serve as the backdrop in this tale of life, death, and redemption.
An estranged son, Cody, is reunited with his abusive father, Avery, when Avery is diagnosed with terminal cancer and requires live-in care. As Avery struggles with thoughts of suicide, Cody tries to forgive him for years of abuse and for driving drunk and leaving him without a mother. Avery finally sees that he has been given a second chance to be a good father, and Cody meets the girl, Perla, that he will come to love. Life continues to improve...but as always, it is only for a little while.
