George Hall je nenametljiv, povučen čovjek, ne sasvim načisto s emocionalnim zahtjevima očinstva ili dobrodusnosću kao takvom. George ne razumije nove, moderne opsesije pričanja o svemu. No neke se stvari u životu jednostavno ne mogu ignorirati. U dobi od sezdeset jedne godine, navikava se na spokojan život u mirovini, namjerava podići sjenicu u svojem vrtu, čita povijesne romane i slusa džez. A onda njegova kći Katie objavljuje da se namjerava preudati. Njezin je odabranik vrlo neprikladni Ray, iako ni sama ne može odlučiti voli li zapravo Raya ili samo njegovu ljubav prema njezinu sinu Jacobu. Katien brat Jamie smatra da Ray ima ruke davitelja, a Katiena majka Jean pomalo je izbezumljena svim tim planiranjem i svađama oko vjenčanja, sto je svakako stalo na put prilično zadovoljavajućoj ljubavnoj vezi s jednim od muževih bivsih kolega. Neprimijećen u svoj toj halabuci, George slučajno otkriva zlokobnu leziju na svojem boku. Za Georgea je ta lezija neupitno tumor, odnosno kancerogeni tumor, dakle: rak. Dijagnoza kao presuda. Za obiteljskog liječnika, riječ je o prolaznoj oteklini i ekcemu koji će se rijesiti postupno, jednostavnim nanosenjem krema. Ne pomažu ni kreme, ni specijalisti dermatolozi, ni psihijatri. U Georgeovoj glavi lezija se razvija i prijeti.
