After serving 20 years for the crime of
essentially being in the wrong place at the wrong time, 38-year-old Chris (Jay
Duplass) is granted early parole thanks largely to the tireless advocacy of
Carol (Edie Falco), his former high-school teacher. As he struggles with the
challenges of navigating the modern world as an ex-con, and with a fraught
relationship with his brother Ted (Ben Schwartz), Chris ends up confessing his
romantic love for Carol - a love that, given her marital status, Carol cannot
reciprocate. Or can she? Carol longs for something her husband no longer
provides. Meanwhile, Carol's daughter Hildy (Kaitlyn Dever) befriends Chris,
finding a kindred spirit in this awkward, tormented older guy.
