Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Ray, an ex-con and widower, is planning a coin heist with two accomplices to help him to buy his own bakery. However, he doesn't expect his son Timmy, who was living with Ray's sister, to show up at the house right in the middle of planning. Timmy is ignored and Ray and his buddies pull off the heist. Timmy gets his father's attention by stealing the coins and hiding them. To get them back, his father must take him to a number of different places and treat him like he enjoys his presence. They grow fond of each other but Timmy won't stay with his dad unless he gives up the coins.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Saul Rubinek was really hit in the nose with a bat during the scene where he falls down the stairs at the stadium. Since Rubinek was caught off guard, his reaction gave the scene a more realistic look. The director, not thinking twice, decided to leave it in the final cut. See more » |
| Goofs | The list of coins shown in the printout during the opening credits are relatively common coins and as described with major flaws, would be a collection worth only a few thousand dollars-a far cry from the $1.5 million used in the story line. The $20 gold piece shown in closeup during the credits is far from an in-circulated example, so it is a coin worth little more than the price of an ounce of gold. Also, if they removed the coins from their new PCGS holders and sold them "raw", whatever their value, they would be worth substantially less than as "certified" in their holders. See more » |

| Quotes |
[Ray's decorating a cake]
Carl: You know, Ray. Your like an artist [starts eating some of the cake Ray's working on] Carl: , just like that Diangelo guy. [grabs another piece off] Ray Gleason: You mean, Michaelangelo? Carl: Yeah, that's him. But instead of paint/plaster, you decorate cakes. Ray Gleason: [suddenly sees Carl eating the cake] Did you just take that off the cake? [looks guilty] Ray Gleason: Don't do that! You know how long I've worked on this cake? [Ray looks away to check on Bobby. While doing so, Carl grabs another icing chunk off the cake, but Ray catches him] Ray Gleason: Did you just poke the cake again? [looks guilty] Ray Gleason: Go stand over there next to Bobby!
