On February 15, 1993 Bill Jackson has to make the most important decision of his life: his family's well-being or his own.

Bill's health is declining severely and must make a change in his life. He smokes, drinks, and has worked in the mines for thirty years, following in his ancestors' footsteps. His son, Ray, is wanting to leave for college next year and would be leaving his family all alone. Fearing death, and leaving his wife, Linda, alone with no job (since she was fired by the factory three years ago) he wants Ray to forgo school and work in the mine to support the family.

Starting and ending at the old gas station up the road, Bill has to confront himself through his family, his only friend and bar-owner, Rusty, and the gas station attendant, Jeane, who seems too good to be true.
