James Franco is starring in the film as a man responsible for the death of a young boy who channels his guilt into a successful writing career. As he gets more famous, however, he represses and rejects the emotional connection he has to the boy’s brother and mother in the years after the accident.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is playing the boy’s mother, while Robert Naylor is playing the brother, who 10 years after the accident, reaches out to the man who killed his sibling.
