Plot Synopsis

After devoting himself 24/7 to his job, ad man Jack Vickery suddenly realizes his family members are basically strangers and questions if they've lost sight of what's really important in life. He stuns his wife and teenage son and daughter with the news that they're going away for a month to the cabin he inherited from his late uncle, in hopes of recapturing the joys of a simpler life that he found there as a child. The stark differences from the creature comforts of their usual lives leaves Jack's wife and kids longing to cut the trip short, but when they are befriended by Wild Bill Cohen, who proudly carries on the long tradition of "Jewish Cowboys," things begin to change. As Bill helps Jack and his family learn the pleasures of a simpler life, the family members start to bond as they begin to understand that being content does not need to be a complicated affair.
