Morris Bliss (Michael C. Hall) is a 30-something New Yorker clamped firmly in the jaws of inertia. He wants to travel but has no money; he needs a job but has no prospects; and he is still living with is widowed father (Peter Fonda), who treats him with a mix of disdain and exasperation. When he finds himself juggling a bizarre relationship with the sexually precocious daughter of a former classmate (Brie Larson) and the advances of his very forward, and very married, neighbor (Lucy Liu), Morris finds his static life beginning to unravel, and opening up in ways that are long overdue.
