A dying elderly guy lies. George Washington Crosby, propped up in his living room with his kids and grandkids about him, wanders in and out of memory, returning to the wonder and agony of his poor upbringing in Maine. As the clock repairer nears the end of his life, memories of his grandpa, a Methodist preacher suffering from lunacy, and father, an itinerant peddler with epilepsy, converge in his mind.
Tinkers is an elegiac meditation on love, sorrow, disease, religion, and the raw beauty of nature. It is at once tragic and life-affirming.
