Synopsis

Ned (Schrieber) is a man under pressure. As a scriptwriter, his boss (Izzard) is pushing him to add extra shocks into his latest project. As a husband, he is coping with his stressed out wife (Hunt) and her sick, alcoholic father (Dennehy). As a father, he is worried about his gay son (Miller) coming out, and watching his youngest (Fortgang) spiral into perfectionism-induced anxiety. When he is assigned a provocative free spirit (Gugino) as a writing partner, he is forced to examine whether the life he has is really the life he wants.
