Storyline
Struggling single mother Nora McPhee's life is disrupted when her long-lost father Max Dugan returns in hopes of spending some time with her and her son Michael to make up for lost time because Max is dying.
Nora is a single mother who lives with her son Michael in a small house. They don't have much money but at least they have each other. Out of the blue comes Nora's father Max Dugan, who left her and her mother when Nora was nine years old. He brings a suitcase with dollar bills and showers her and Michael with gifts, trying to make up for lost time, knowing that he has a fatal heart ailment. The money comes from his shady career in Las Vegas and Nora is dating a policeman who is very interested in meeting him.
