This movie is about a decent hardworking truck driver who is trying to provide the best for his family. When his son becomes seriously ill he becomes under enormous pressure to find a large amount money quickly. He must choose between the current situation or following a path that may save his son but may also destroy his future. The movie touches on the issue of people with money being able to obtain better medical care than ordinary working Americans.

I found the characters all to be down to earth people showing their failures and flaws as well as their love for each other. The movie continually develops the suspense in many different ways to an unknowing ending involving the father, brother, wife and child.

While this movie doesn't have a lot of action, it does develop the suspense extremely well.
