Burghardt is fighting a losing battle with skin cancer, and his son Jonathan has put his life on hold to care for his dying father. Years earlier, it was Burghardt who had made the sacrifices, raising Jonathan by himself following the tragic death of his wife. With his father too ill to work, Jonathan is left to work with his aunt Martha to run the family farm. Though all three live together on the farm, Martha and Burghardt have not spoken in years. Even with Burghardt growing closer and closer to death, neither is willing to put aside their hostilities and make peace.
