Unexpectedly downsized from his once-comfortable job, Robert Harlan (Lowe) decides to finally pursue his dreams of becoming a writer. In order to summon inspiration, Harlan draws on the emotions his wife experienced after losing her father and the book quickly becomes a bestseller. But success has spoiled Robert Hanlan, and now his relationships with both his family and his friends are suffering: In addition to growing further apart from his devoted wife and young daughter, Hanlan barely speaks to the agent who used to be his best friend. When a mysterious stranger makes an ominous prediction about Hanlan's life, the egotistical writer finally receives a much-needed wake-up call. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...the film's emphasis on sentimental and downright heavy-handed elements becomes overwhelming
-
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Only Frances Conroy is able to somehow transcend the clichéd script and bring a palpable sense of personhood to her role.
