But when a heart attack lands him in the hospital, he's forced to confront his past and the relationships he's long neglected. As he drifts in and out of consciousness, Ebeneezer is haunted by memories of his estranged daughter and the mistake that drove them apart decades ago. With time running out, he must find a way to make peace with his past and repair the broken bonds of family before it's too late.
