Movie Description
When a New York heart surgeon has a mild heart-attack, he is encouraged by his girlfriend to visit Los Angeles to reconcile his relationship with his father. Once there, he discovers his father is terminally ill and so begins their adventure to do all the things they had never done together.
Synopsis
After suffering a heart attack, Dr. Abbie Polin decides to re-establish contact with his father Abe, known in Hollywood as "King of the Extras." Despite their long estrangement, the two slowly begin to understand each other, and, through banter and one-liners, they try to come to terms with their tumultuous past, their different points of view, and, most of all, their mortality.
