Description
Gordon Schwinn, a talented but frustrated songwriter, suddenly discovers he has a brain tumor and needs a risky operation. Using his fiercely sarcastic wit, he faces the dire possibilities that he may die without ever realizing his artistic potential or, perhaps worse, that he may never regain the use of his faculties. This crisis makes him re-evaluate and better appreciate his life and the people who surround him as he discovers the healing power of art.
