Synopsis:
The lives of a cast of misfits collide in this engagingly off-kilter character study with deep ties to Chicago. There’s Mort (John Malkovich), a Vietnam veteran trying to soothe his survivor’s guilt with alcohol; Fletcher (John Goodman), a used-boat salesman who’s as corrupt as he is jocular; and Mort’s nephew Abe, a wide-eyed suburban teen pursuing his quixotic dream of buying a boat and sailing the world… while keeping his mother (Dana Delany) in the dark.
