Now in his sixties, Joe is released from the hospital after a long battle with pneumonia and forced to confront the harsh reality of his legacy: everyone he knew had assumed he was dead, and life had gone on around him without missing a beat. Returning to his old neighborhood in Chicago's 'Patch' district, he finds his car gone, all his worldly possessions pawned by his landlord, and the apartment he's lived in his entire adult life rented out to a single mother and her eight-year-old daughter.

Un beau jour, Nick reçoit un appel de détresse de son frère, perdu de vue depuis des années. Sévèrement endetté, Fred doit d'urgence se refaire une santé. Nick, magnanime, accepte de le dépanner... à condition que Fred vienne l'aider dans sa super fabrique de jouets du Pôle Nord.
