A year after being paralyzed in a car accident, thirty-year-old Dan, struggling with his recovery, relocates to his family's cabin in upstate New York. Several of his best friends visit him there on the last day of August to challenge his decision to become a recluse and other self-destructive behavior patterns. Each of them contrives to balance concern for his psychological well-being with insistence that Dan re-examine his response to his physical condition.
