Bob Loose Bonaduce is a hockey player who never quite made it to the big time. Now he's decided to retire and return to his home province of New Brunswick. Once there, he lies his way into graduate school and attempts to get close to the son he abandoned twenty years earlier. At the same time he has to deal with the fact that he is stricken with multiple sclerosis and may eventually lose control over the body that has taken him so far in life.
