As a result of selling fake IDs to illegal Mexican immigrants, Wendell Baker (Luke Wilson) is arrested and jailed. His girlfriend Doreen (Eva Mendes) leaves him, and Wendell now has time to figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. As a condition of his parole, Wendell takes a job at the Shady Grove retirement home, which is run by Neil King (Owen Wilson) and McTeague (Eddie Griffin) who run a scam that involves stealing residents' medications and selling them on the black market. A reformed Wendell enlists the aid of the residents–including Boyd (Seymour Cassel), Skip (Harry Dean Stanton), and L.R. Nasher (Kris Kristofferson)–in a plan to end the scam and, maybe, get Doreen back in the process. As they join forces in Wendell's cause, the residents learn that they still have a lot more living to do.
