"The story of five people, who seem to be unrelated, who make a decision to take some risks with their personal lives while searching for happiness."Alan King plays a Herb is a cantankerous old New Yorker who can barely walk to the corner store because of his infirmity. But he has vowed to pilgrimage on foot seven miles to the northern most tip of Manhattan to visit a part of the Hudson River -- Spuyten Duyvil -- a place he used to swim in as a child.
4 other characters are developed separately: a single father who lives with his son in Jamaica, Vermont; an accountant in Arizona who is suffering psychically from not seeing his son; a quirky North Carolina caring for her mother; and a folk singer in New York who performs on street corners but will not go into Manhattan.
The story flows, and draws in the viewer. Quite enjoyable.
