George
Monroe has been planning to take over the reigns directing his life ever since
he was divorced from his wife. Now that he discovers that he is incurably sick
and has only about a year left to live, everything seems different. In order to
make a future possible for his troubled teenage-son Sam, he wants him for the
summer to help him build the house he has been dreaming of. This gives Sam the
possibility to let out his aggressive feelings by destroying the old house and
getting inspiration by building the new one. And there is of course the
beautiful daughter of the neighbors, Alyssa, who brightens up Sam's life. As
time goes by, though, George begins to doubt his intentions of bringing the
family together again when he knows he is about to die...
