It stars Josh Lucas as a successful businessman attempting to resurrect his life, with Ayelet Zurer, Jon Tenney, Taylor Nichols, and James Cromwell in supporting roles.

[6] Joe Leydon of Variety wrote that the film "sails smoothly, if not downright defiantly, far beyond the commercial mainstream".
