[edit] Synopsis

Russell Durrell (Vaughn) is an ambitious young lawyer with a fast moving career and great potential. Suddenly, however, his wife Kate (Potter) leaves him and their 5-year-old son (Moat), and Durrell moves with his son back to his small hometown in Kansas. Just as he is putting his life together and has found a new potential lover (Adams), his wife shows up, demanding custody of their son.

A rejected soundtrack was composed by Mike Mills of R.E.M..
