In "Knox Goes Away", the eponymous character, played by Michael Keaton, is diagnosed with dementia. He must therefore clean up his life as a contract killer and leave the money he has collected to his loved ones.
Before he can do this, his estranged son (James Marsden) intervenes. He needs his father's help to cover up a murder in the heat of the moment and not ruin his entire life.
