Will Ferrell stars in this low-key comedy drama loosely based on a short story by Raymond Carver. Nick Halsey (Ferrell) is having the worst day of his life. He loses his wife, his home, his job & all his money, & proceeds to fall spectacularly off the wagon after six months of sobriety. Detective Frank Garcia (Michael Peña), who also happens to be Nick's AA sponsor, eventually steps in & suggests that Nick hold a yard sale to buy himself a little time. With the help of neglected boy-next-door Kenny (Christopher Jordan Wallace) & Samantha (Rebecca Hall), a pregnant woman who has just moved across the street, Nick comes to understand the true meaning of letting go & moving on with his life.
