Description:

Earl Pilcher Jr., an Arkansas man known for always wearing his hat, runs a rental business and lives with his family. He discovers he's not his mother's biological son after finding a letter revealing a half-brother, Ray, living in Chicago. Hoping to connect with Ray and learn about his family history, Earl travels to Chicago. Ray and his grandson Virgil are initially distant, but a story of family connection unfolds. Guided by their late mother's sister, Aunt T., a strong-willed blind woman, the once-divided family starts to heal and find comfort in their shared past.
