'It's messy," Carter Webb says about the world. 'And it's chaotic, and it's never ever the thing you'd expect.' Carter should know. Heartbroken over a smashed love affair and weary of a dismal job, he flees Los Angeles to care for his ailing grandmother in a leafy Michigan suburb - and finds what he doesn't expect: mother-and-daughter neighbors, both beautiful, and both facing crises of life, love and confidence. Adam Brody makes his starring film debut as Carter.
