David Patterson is mad at the world. He lost his job, teaching. Got drunk and almost smashed his beloved Mustang. Charged with DUI and found guilty he is ordered to perform six months community service. He reports to the Bayview retirement home and is set to work to help the old folk fill the empty hours by teaching them to write their memoirs. The old people are not interested. They are old. David hates the task, but he has no choice. Slowly the people come around and start to tell him some wonderful storied. He changes their lives and in turn has his life turned around.
