Synopsis:
From Fandango: The Nation's Leading Moviegoer Destination
James Tyrone Jr. is a washed-up former actor whose dreams of stardom on Broadway were washed away by alcoholism and emotional irresponsibility. James makes a meager living renting property; Phil Hogan is an Irish immigrant, who, alongside his outwardly gruff daughter, Josie, works a small farm he's renting from James. James wants to sell the farm and is interested in making a deal with his well-to-do neighbors. Phil hatches a scheme by which Josie will talk James into selling the land to them instead, for a lower price. As James' and Josie's conversation veers away from business, they begin to open up to one another about their dreams, their fears, and their many disappointments, and the two begin to realize just how much they have in common -- as well as how wide a gulf separates them.
