Willem Dafoe stars as a forgotten New York poet whose work is unexpectedly rediscovered by a group of young artists. Swept into their bohemian circle—and drawn to a charismatic aspiring actress (Greta Lee)—he begins to wonder whether his long-abandoned literary life might deserve a second act. A witty, bittersweet story of art, aging and the allure of recognition.
