INDEPENDENT FILM FOR INDEPENDENT MINDS

Nick Halsey (Will Ferrell) is having a terrible week. He recently slipped back into alcoholism after six months of sobriety, he just lost his job and he comes home to discover that his wife has locked him out of the house and thrown all of his belongings onto the front lawn. Oh, and then his company car is repossessed. As he attempts to come to grips with his situation, Nick camps out on the lawn in his suburban neighbourhood and determines to stay there until he finds a solution or is forcefully removed. Either way, he's going to spend every last cent he has on six-packs to help pass the time. Eventually, Nick decides that a yard sale is in order. Letting go of some of his treasured possessions will be difficult, but with the help of his dismayed AA sponsor (Michael Pena), his pregnant next-door neighbour (Rebecca Hall) and a sombre kid (Christopher Jordan Wallace), he just might manage to dig himself out of his pit of personal despair.
