Synopsis:
An aging farmer fights to
keep the home that is rightfully his after fleeing from a
nursing home and discovering that his son has leased the
family farm to his old nemesis. Placed in a nursing home by
his son and promptly forgotten, Abner Meecham (Hal Holbrook)
realized that waiting to die was no way to live. Determined to
enjoy his last days, Abner packed his bags and set his sights
on the family farm. At least there he could die on his own
land, in familiar surroundings. But Abner is in for a rude
awakening, because upon returning home he discovers that his
son has leased the farm to Lorenzo Choat. Abner never cared
much for Lorenzo, and when Lorenzo refuses to leave Abner
takes up residence in an old tenant shack on the property.
Before long, their dispute becomes volatile, each man
believing himself to be in the right, and refusing to back
down from their position. Betrayed by his son and haunted by
dreams of his beloved, deceased wife, Abner draws a line in
the sand in an attempt to reclaim his life. As threats are
made and tension begins to brew, it's only a matter of time
before the situation turns savage.
