The year is 1969 and Abel Shaddick is a crusty, old delicatessen owner in the upstate New York picturesque town of Fairview. Shaddick has grown into a sarcastic and embittered old man whose life has become stagnant and routine. A widower , he lost complete passion for life following the death of his beloved son, Benjy, killed during World War II. For Shaddick, life has never been the same. His business is suffering and he has no time or patience for anyone or anything. The only person he sees with any regularity is his freeloading nephew, Stanley.
