Their father had left his entire estate, minus some prize-winning rose bushes, to Raymond. Charlie kidnaps Raymond and they embark on a cross-country journey together. Over the course of the trip, Charlie learns about patience and love. Originally hoping to gain ransom for Raymond's safe return, Charlie agrees to allow his brother to return to the care facility and promises to visit him often. |
