A single mother from Queens becomes unwittingly embroiled in international espionage in director
Hal Hartley's sequel to the critically acclaimed
Henry Fool.
Fay Grim (
Parker Posey) is determined to raise her 14-year-old son,
Ned (
Liam Aiken), so he won't be like his father,
Henry (
Thomas Jay Ryan), who disappeared seven years ago after accidentally murdering a vicious neighbor. As
Fay's brother,
Simon (
James Urbaniak), serves time in a prison cell for aiding
Henry in his daring escape, he gradually begins to suspect that the man who inspired him to take up writing in the first place is not the louse he appeared to be, but instead the keeper of some potentially explosive government secrets that, if made public, could prove quite dangerous. As
Simon begins to explore the possibility that
Henry's autobiography, "Confessions," contains coded references to a wide variety of international atrocities committed by governments around the world, the CIA contacts
Fay to inform her that her husband was killed in a hotel fire in Sweden shortly after fleeing America, and that the French government is currently in possession of two notebooks containing drafts of "Confessions." Convinced that the notebooks contain information that could endanger the security of the United States, CIA agent
Fulbright (
Jeff Goldblum) convinces
Fay to travel to Paris and retrieve
Henry's property before the information falls into the wrong hands. Now trapped in the middle of a cross-continental con and thrust deep into the world of international espionage,
Fay is about to find out that her ex-husband is not only still alive, but in more trouble than he could ever imagine.
