Vincent is a misanthropic and curmudgeonly old man who becomes responsible for his neighbour Maggie's son Oliver. Maggie, who has enough on her mind with starting her new job at the hospital while going through divorce proceedings from Oliver's father, employs Vincent to take care of Oliver after school. Unbeknown to Maggie, Vincent is a heavy drinker and smoker and likes to hang around bars and racetracks in his spare time. But is there more to Vincent than meets the eye? Why darn it all…’a’ corse there is.
