Overview

When William Wozniak, a San Francisco artist who has struggled for years in obscurity, suddenly and inexplicably finds himself painting in a startlingly new, surreal style, he is embraced by the art world.
But health issues lead him to a neurology appointment, where William discovers that his new artistic style is the result of a brain tumor threatening his life. He must decide whether to have surgery to remove it--which will likely relegate him back to painting in the drab style that defined his years of anonymity--or allow the tumor to grow and, most likely, kill him.
To make matters worse, William and his wife Rosemary are struggling financially, having been disowned by William's father Arthur, a cantankerous and homophobic old widower. Arthur is cared for by his younger son, Bertram, in a big house in Scarsdale, New York. But when Bertram, a gay man in the closet due to his fear of being disinherited, finally comes out, Arthur decides to switch allegiance to Will and move to California.
A mess ensues.
And it remains to be seen whether Laurel, a portly California real estate agent who's taken an improbable liking to Arthur, will make the situation better or worse.
