Attempting to resolve a few issues with his girlfriend Mary Ellen (Sally Field), ex-wife Jessica Lawson (Joanne Woodward), daughter Julie (Kristy McNichol), and his parents (Myrna Loy and Pat O'Brien), Lawson finds that they're all too absorbed in their own problems to pay him any attention. After trying suicide several times by himself and failing, he ends up at a psychiatric hospital where he meets a very disturbed fellow patient Marlon Borunki (Dom DeLuise) w.ho agrees to help him in his quest for suicide. This "help" however, winds up almost killing Sonny...and not in a good way
