Additional information
Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his
mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen.
A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been
home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between
them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the
silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his
hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around
every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and
the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best
to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a
twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of
color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his
sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his
heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.
