 Russ Duritz is a wealthy L.A. image consultant, but as he nears 40, he s cynical, dogless, chickless, estranged from his father, and he has no memories of his childhood. One night he surprises an intruder, who turns out to be a kid, almost 8 years old. There s something oddly familiar about the chubby lad, whose name is Rusty. The boy s identity sparks a journey into Russ s past that the two of them take - to find the key moment that has defined who Russ is. Two long-suffering women look on with disbelief: Russ s secretary, Janet, and his assistant, the lovely Amy, to whom Rusty takes a shine. What, and who, is at the end of this journey?
