A redemption tale about Caleb (Adam Scott, "Step Brothers"), a bitter construction worker whose life is turned upside down one Thanksgiving weekend. Fresh off a recent breakup, Caleb becomes scornful to women and wears his disdain like a badge of honor. His resolve is tested when his younger brother Peter (Alex Frost, "Elephant") arrives at home with his new girlfriend Emma (Brittany Snow, "Hairspray" "Prom Night"), whom Caleb immediately distrusts. His efforts to protect his brother end up back-firing as he finds himself drawn to Emma. These unexpected feelings force Caleb to finally confront the vulnerability he has struggled with for so long. Also starring acclaimed actor J.K. Simmons ("Juno" "Spider-man").
