A warm, gently comedic exploration of brotherhood and self-discovery that uses fate and destiny as a lens for examining how ordinary people find meaning in their lives.

Dispatched from his basement room on an errand for his mother, slacker Jeff might discover his destiny (finally) when he spends the day with his brother as he tracks his possibly adulterous wife.
