On a snowy Christmas morning in 1979, Gunther and his wife accidentally backed their RV over a stranger, killing him instantly. In the poor soul's car was more money than Gunther had ever seen in his life and for the debt-ridden old couple, it would indeed be a merry Christmas. But nobody can buy a happy ending. Especially Gunther. Ten years later, under the scorching summer sun, seventy-seven-year-old Gunther walks away from his nursing home and sets off to find the hidden money. Unbeknownst to him, he's followed by a trio of unsavoury characters.
