Separated from his owner and dumped at the dog pound to die, Alvin's only crime is being old. Alone and at the mercy of others, Alvin connects with cross-dressing mobsters, televangelists, eco-warriors, compulsive gamblers, and the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix. Alvin touches the lives of those he meets in ways they never would have imagined...and it's mostly good. Sometimes it's not.
