Even after 13-year-old Max's spinal surgery leaves him paralyzed and on a ventilator, his prognosis for a full recovery is good-so long as he gets to rehabilitation promptly for the physical therapy he needs.

But his insurance company's demand for a hefty copay grounds the air ambulance to rehab when Max's parents (Kate and Luther, with him in New York) and grandparents (Archie and Charlotte, holding down the fort in Louisville) refuse to be extorted. Even as the insurance company's fingers probe his gut for its pound of flesh, Archie leads the fight!

Inspired by a true story, Save the Max Man! is a gripping and subtle study of how family dynamics play out in an extreme situation.
