In the Bronx, Joe, an Irish good guy, gets bad news twice the same day: he
has a brain tumor and his wife wants a divorce, saying he`s dull and lacks
adventure. With her father`s blessing, Joe takes off for adventures in the
weeks before risky surgery. In Louisville, he`s latched onto by Hush, a
talkative belle with two kids, big debts to a nasty bookie, and few prospects.
Even after she steals his wallet, Joe offers temporary help, bonds with her
kids, and faces down the bookie. Soon Hush, Joe, and the kids are on the
run toward Vegas. The bookie`s on their tail, so are some Bronx bad guys,
cancer lurks, Hush has her gambling jones, and the kids want stability. Can
this work out?
