Vincent MacKenna, portrayed by Bill Murray, is a grizzled Vietnam War veteran residing in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. As a son of Irish immigrants, Vincent’s life is filled with challenges; he grapples with alcoholism, gambling, and the emotional weight of his wife’s Alzheimer’s disease, which has left her unable to recognize him.

The only other close connections in his life are a pregnant Russian prostitute named Daka, played by Naomi Watts, with whom he regularly has physical encounters, and his beloved cat, Felix.
