Plot

In the heart of a turbulent family teeters Viola Price, a fiery matriarch portrayed by Whoopi Goldberg, who stands at the precipice of mortality, her life tethered to the ticking time bomb of her next lethal asthma attack. However, Viola is not one to meet her fate without a fight. She embarks on an arduous quest to mend the shattered fragments of her family before succumbing to her inexorable destiny. Her estranged husband, played by Ving Rhames, is ensnared in the manipulative web of a younger girlfriend, and Viola is determined to pull him from the precipice of this ill-fated love. Her adult children, brought to life by Kimberly Elise, Tichina Arnold, Mekhi Phifer, and Anika Noni Rose, each grapple with their own stormy seas. From the throes of teen pregnancy, the destructive vortex of drug addiction, to fierce sibling rivalries, their lives are a tapestry of strife and discord. One of her sons, a former inmate, must learn the art of fatherhood amidst the echoes of his past, while her granddaughter is embroiled in a turmoil greater than her mother dares to acknowledge. The family, once disjointed and distant, now finds themselves drawn into the whirlpool of Viola's meddling - a maelstrom they haven't experienced in decades. Navigating these troubled waters won't be an easy journey for Viola. Yet, she remains resolute, committed to stitching the frayed edges of her family together, even as her own life begins to unravel. A Day Late and a Dollar Short is a poignant exploration of a family's struggle to connect and heal, painted against the backdrop of a matriarch's looming mortality.
