Spoilers ahead
Andrew Plummer, Fred Stone, is a former soldier and boxer living contentedly in a home for veterans. When his son, Dennis Morgan as Joe Plummer, recently promoted at work, invites him to move in with his wife, Trudie, Joe writes a letter implying his father could help at his job but fears that his presence would be a burden if the invitation weren’t officially extended. The plan rests on a notion that Andrew might be content to stay put, since there is a long waiting list at the veterans home and a return would be delayed for years.
