註釋When Julius Harris is diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 55, he sets out to make amends for his past mistakes, most notably leaving a wife and three sons 20 years ago. As he races to reunite the family once lost to him, he finds his sons are now men facing trials of their own, trials that resonate with the impact of their father's decision so many years ago.
His middle son, Marcus, wrestles with fears of abandonment that prevent him from committing to the woman who has turned his life around. Caleb, the youngest, is struggling to prove he's the kind of man who accepts responsiblity for the commitments he has made; he knows he must end his get-rich quick schemes and support his wife and young son. Most tellingly, eldest son Austin, dissatisfied with his life, leaves his own wife and children. Is he doomed to repeat his father's fate? Is the promise Marcus made at his mother's deathbed to keep the family together an empty one? Or can these damaged men really help each other to heal?
