It’s the end of summer, 1999, and Thomas August has a few problems. He finds himself on the edge of his 39th birthday, his marriage in trouble, bored with his job, and afraid his kids will end up like him. When he gets fired for browsing internet porn at work, he thinks his life is over. Looking backwards and forwards and through time, Thomas sets off on a journey through the city of Louisville, Kentucky, in search of a place he can call home, before he goes home.
