Eddie Miller (Robert Forster) has spent his life traversing the roads of Pennsylvania, selling diamonds and jewelry to small shops. After a heart attack makes him an insurance risk, his company informs Eddie that it's time he trains his replacement, Bobby Walker (Donnie Wahlberg), a coarse, brash young man with no sales experience. Despite their differences, the two become friends, and Bobby introduces Eddie to Tina (Jasmine Guy), a madam with a rough exterior but a heart of gold.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Robert Forster's tour-de-force performance, along with Daniel M. Cohen's sensitive direction and subtly shaded screenplay, brings rare heft to this mentor/protégé buddy film.
