Plot

Woody Grant is found by a policeman in Billings, Montana, strolling erratically on the road shoulder. He is then taken to the neighborhood police station. David picks up Woody after learning that he wants to travel to Lincoln, Nebraska, to claim the $1 million prize he thinks he has won in a contest. David recognizes right away that the sweepstakes letter is a mail scam intended to convince naive people to buy magazine subscriptions when he first sees it. When David brings his father home, Kate grows increasingly irritated with Woody's insistence on getting the cash. David and his brother Ross talk about placing Woody in a retirement home after he is once more apprehended while attempting to reach Nebraska. Because their father made no attempt to raise them and used to drink a lot, Ross is especially irritated. He doesn't believe they owe anything to their father. Noelle, his ex-girlfriend, pays him a visit but declines to move back in with him and returns his possessions. A call from Kate informing them that Woody has taken off once more ends their talk. David picks up Woody and resolves to drive him all the way to South Dakota, Woody has a mental breakdown and trips and falls on his way back to their hotel room, hitting his head. He needs to get his head sewn up, so David brings him to the hospital. When the doctor learns about Woody's "prize," he thinks it will cover the hospital expenses. The doctor wants to observe Woody for a day. David offers they stay the night with Woody's family after learning they will be going through Hawthorne, Nebraska, where Woody is from. Despite Woody's opposition to the plan, they ultimately go. They lodge with Ray, Martha, and Cole and Bart, the brothers of Woody. After having a few drinks at a bar, Woody and David visit a mechanic shop that Woody once shared ownership of. David is coerced into drinking a beer by Woody. David's father had given him beer when he was six because he thought it was harmless. They argue after David brings up Woody's drunkenness and family issues. Woody claims he slipped into marriage and did not discuss having children with Kate; he just liked "screwing."They run across Ed Pegram at another establishment, who the family accuses of stealing Woody's air compressor decades earlier. However, Woody earlier asserted that he had sold Ed the garage. Woody announces winning the money against David's concerns, and the patrons salute his good fortune. They discover the following day that the word has spread like wildfire throughout the town. Kate takes the bus to Hawthorne, where David takes his parents to the grave before Kate arrives. While there, Kate pays her respects and shares some interesting details about Woody's family, specifically their sexual histories. A local publisher wants to publish a piece on Woody and his "win" in the sweepstakes. She gives David some background on his father because she was one of Woody's previous girlfriends. That evening, Ed confronts David in the men's room and threatens legal action over some money he had previously loaned to Woody.
