Chance Grovner, a hobo, decides it's time to go home. Drifting from place to place, he finds himself in his hometown of Salt Lake City at Christmas. Here he hopes to close old wounds and be reunited with Charlie, his unforgiving son, and get to know the grandchildren he has never met. Charlie, still resenting the fact that Chance ran out on his family 25 years earlier, gives him only one day with his grandchildren; after that, he's expected to leave and never come back.
