Comedy-drama from the director of The Visitor and The Station Agent, about a dodgy, down on his luck attorney (Paul Giamatti) who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach in order to support his family. Also stars Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures), Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) and Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development).
When the runaway grandson of one of Mike's (Giamatti) elderly clients arrives in town, Flaherty takes him under his wing and discovers the boy has the potential in the wrestling department. Both their lives start to look up, until the boy's mother (Lynskey) shows up, fresh out of rehab, flat broke and threatening to derail everything.
