Trailer & Synopsis
Socially inept garbageman Simon Grim’s (James Urbaniak) life changes forever when a mysterious stranger shows up at his house and encourages him to write: Henry Fool (Thomas Jay Ryan), a self-proclaimed genius forging a masterful memoir who is really a sex offender on probation from prison. As the garbageman produces a poem that tremendously moves some but is dismissed as pornographic and scatological by others, Henry scraps with and leers at Simon’s chronically depressed mother Mary (Maria Porter) and his bored, unemployed sister Fay (Parker Posey).
