Nevertheless, Jason's interest is piqued when Red's business associate and friend, Mr. Hamilton (BILL COBBS), along with his associate, Miss Hastings (LEE MERIWETHER), inform him that he's set to inherit "the ultimate gift" if he can pass a number of tests previously arranged by Red.
Jason reluctantly agrees to the challenge, where the first test is to perform manual farm labor for Red's old friend, Gus (BRIAN DENNEHY). Later ones lead to him meeting single mom Alexia (ALI HILLIS) and her young daughter Emily Rose (ABIGAIL BRESLIN) who's coping with having leukemia.
While he initially has a bad attitude toward all of them and his various tasks, Jason eventually has a change of heart as he slowly comes to the realization that Red's gift to him is far greater than some simple sum of money.
Some drug dealers take two men hostage at gunpoint, and there's some brief striking of others and threats to kill the two men. Those scenes might be unsettling for some viewers, while various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes. Characters smoke and/or drink, with those drug dealers appearing to be passed out from drinking too much.
A mother must contend with her daughter dying from leukemia, while other tense family material (mainly bad relations) is also present, as is some potentially imitative behavior.

For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there's a little bit of bouncy camerawork during a scene set in a moving jeep.
