On his 40th birthday, Randy Clark intends to carry out a familiar routine: work, savor the steak dinner prepared by his wife, blow out birthday candles. . . and then, end his own life.
Haunted by shattered aspirations of a golfing career, a strained marriage following the loss of his son, and dire financial circumstances, Randy sees suicide as the sole means of providing for his family, relying on life insurance to support them in his absence.
However, Randy's meticulously laid plans take an unexpected turn with the bestowal of a surreal gift: four rounds of golf with his personal heroes, offering him four invaluable opportunities to glean wisdom from the masters themselves.
