His quest is derailed when he is told of his cancer and becomes intertwined in a web of emotions. Alcohol, deception and past decisions fog his reality but is soon cleared by a young cancer patient who teaches him true human werth.I highly recommend this film and was clearly impressed but supporting role of Patrick Shawn Flannery "Boondock saints ".
