Tom Selleck stars as wealthy Chicago broker Jon Aldrich, a loving husband and father who must rush to Florida when his elderly mother becomes ill. But when his senile father (Don Ameche) burns down their house, Jon is forced to bring his parents home with him. Now nothing in his life, including his money-grubbing sister (Christine Ebersole) or an FBI sting that has frozen all his finances, can compare to the daily dangers of caring for his mother and father. Still, things are about to get much, much worse. Could Jon's final solution be a series of deadly accidents' that will take care of his folks for good? (official distributor synopsis)
