The videotaped will of deceased billionaire Red Stevens (James Garner) includes the "ultimate gift" for his spoiled, sullen grandson Jason (Drew Fuller). A series of tasks meant to turn Jason from a hedonistic jerk into a compassionate human being is included in the will, but whether that's the gift or there's a fortune at the end of the rainbow is something Jason will just have to wait to find out. He's sent to Texas to work on the ranch of one of Red's old pals (Brian Dennehey). Then his trust fund is cut off and he's thrown into the streets and eventually makes friends with a young girl named Emily (Abigail Breslin) her struggling mom (Ali Hills). Can he rise to meet this beyond-the-grave challenge? Follow Jason on a yearlong journey that leads him to the last thing he ever expected!
