The reclusive author whose groundbreaking book redefined spirituality for an entire generation realizes how little he actually knows upon being approached by a single mother and a recovering addict in this
drama from first time writer/director
John Hindman. It's been 20 years since
Arlen Faber (
Jeff Daniels) penned "Me and God," and the inspirational, soul-searching book is still as popular as ever. Anyone who reads it thinks that
Arlen has all the answers to life's problems, but these days the author barely ventures outside of the house. Then, one day,
Arlen crosses paths with
Elizabeth (
Lauren Graham), a single mother struggling to raise her seven-year-old son, and
Kris (
Lou Taylor Pucci), a young man who has just gotten out of rehab. Both are searching for the answers that will help them to become better people while overcoming their fears of failure. Does
Arlen possess the wisdom to help
Elizabeth and
Kris work through their current problems, or is he really as clueless as he's been feeling for the last two decades?
