Plot Summary

On a day, just like any other day, Henry, an architect in New Orleans, gets ready to go to work. His pregnant wife, Penny, sees a 14-15 year old girl going through their and other neighbors' trash and tells her husband to talk with the girl and perhaps help. Penny kisses Henry goodbye and tells him to be bold at a decisive day at work. This day is not going to be like all the others. The clients are more than satisfied at work and a partnership in the company is offered. But then comes the call. Penny's car crashed on her way to see her mom and Henry's alone. Henry tries to befriend the teenage girl, his wife mentioned. She's trying to build a raft out of garbage and Henry wants to help her. Written by Scott Filtenborg

Trivia Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast as Henry Herschel but left due to scheduling conflicts. He was replaced by Jason Sudeikis. See more »
Goofs Henry tries to cook with pot by adding buds to a soup. Cooking in this way would make you sick, not high. The THC has to be extracted from the weed (usually by simmering in butter then cooled, which can then be used to cook with). The way Henry uses it, the THC would cook away, and then remaining plant material would be bitter enough to make him sick. See more »
