Life is how you live it, not how you spend it
Based on the best-selling book The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall, this film sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on an improbable journey of discovery, having to answer the ultimate question: "What is the relationship between wealth and happiness?"
Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole "reading of the will" thing would be another simple cash transaction, that his grandfather's money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts," each challenging Jason in an improbable way, the accumulation of which would change him forever.
Featuring an all-star cast including Golden Globe winner and six-time Emmy® nominee Brian Dennehy, Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee James Garner, and Academy Award® nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Signs).
