Written by David Bromberg this movie is actor Justin Theroux's directorial debut. The film premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. It was produced by Plum Pictures. Henry Roth (Crudup) is an obsessive-compulsive & somewhat misanthropic writer of children's books. His illustrator and only friend, Rudy (Wilkinson), dies after a fabulously successful collaboration on their series of children's books about "Marty, the Beaver." Henry is under contract to produce another Marty book for Christmas sales. His publisher, Arthur Planck (Balaban), assigns penniless, lovelorn illustrator Lucy Reilly (Moore) to work with Henry. She's sought by her ex-boyfriend Jeremy (Freeman), who dumped her two years ago but shows up apologetic, having dedicated his new book to her. She and Henry go to a house on the shore to work. Will love bloom amid the rocks, or is Henry a bump on Lucy's road to Jeremy? Rudy's voice, from the grave, gives Henry counsel.
