A low-key, character-driven road trip comedy about a couple and their quirky brother navigating relationship tensions and life's small absurdities over a vintage chair.

Josh, a struggling musician, wins a vintage recliner in an eBay auction. Since he lives in New York and the chair is in Atlanta, this poses a bit of a problem. He asks his girlfriend, Emily, to accompany him on the trip, and his hippie brother Rhett joins the pair along the way.
