 Set in the storied city of New Orleans, NONFICTION follows a reclusive writer in his mid-twenties, BEN WILLMAN, as he makes his way through life and tragedy to become a successful screenwriter in Los Angeles. But his journey is more than just a simple piece of nonfiction. Before Ben ever makes it to a sunny apartment complex in the City of Angels, we find him, three years removed from the devastating hurricane that took his parents and secretly in love with the fiancée, JULIA COUPLE, of his newly engaged, long-time best friend, ROBERT MONTY. On top of it all, the only family Julia has, her cousins TY and HOLLY COUPLE, don t approve of Rob, whose promiscuity, cockiness, and sarcasm can be overbearing. But Ben s life takes an unexpected turn when tragedy strikes. As Ben struggles to deal with his changing world, he reaches a breaking point. In a whirlwind of events that lead to an intense climax, both the beauty and the sorrow of reality take hold of Ben.
