What's Important? You're an old man and your days are numbered, so
how do you live them? What's important? He's a young man, drunk,
unlucky in love and heartbroken, breaking windows on Main Street
when the limousine pulls to a stop and an old man gets out. "What
are you doing?" The old man asks, and so begins the unexpected
friendship between this young man, Boomer, and a group of old guys
who live in a house together on Brewster Avenue. A big beautiful
house. "We're like a fraternity, or a brotherhood, or a club,"
Kenneth, one of the old men, explains. "Each of us have been left
behind by the one we loved, we've all been widowed, and now we live
together for friendship and to look out for each other. We're The
Brewster Avenue Dead Man's Club," Kenneth says with a laugh,
"because at any moment, any of us could be dead." No longer wanting
to live with his girlfriend who cheated on him, and not having
anywhere else to go, Boomer accepts the offer from the old men to
stay in their basement until he gets a place of his own. What
Boomer doesn't know is that he's beginning one of the most
transformative journeys of his life, that while living with these
old men, they will mentor him and teach him all of the great wisdom
they have garnered through the years, showing Boomer what it means
to be a decent human being, how to live one's life with integrity,
how to overcome difficulties, and how to enjoy and savor the
precious time that you have while you're here - showing him the
answer to the greatest question that any of us could ever ask:
