OUT OF THE WOODS
Matt Fleming (Jason London) can’t get it together. His career as a hotshot L.A. lawyer isn’t so hot, his financial affairs are a mess, and his frustrating relationship with his girlfriend Linda is weighed down by guilt over his reluctance to commit – especially in light of their best friends happy engagement.

She worries that her father Jack (Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Ed Asner), a hermit in the backwoods town of Acquisition, needs assistance. Agreeing to check up on the old man, Matt heads upstate for what proves to be an eye-opening trip. With no electricity, gas, or phone, Grandpa is nothing if not eccentric. He picks wild berries for breakfast, favors communing with nature, and spends his last few spiritual evenings on earth by firelight in a homemade tepee. He couldn’t be more at peace with himself. For a material guy like Matt, this bare-bones existence is hard to fathom. Then he meets Gwen, a single mother who delivers Grandpa’s groceries. She, too, enjoys rural peace, appreciates the elderly man’s simplicity, and exposes Matt to the pleasures of a less complicated life – until his complications follow him to town. When Linda, Charles, and Vicki arrive unannounced, Matt is faced with a decision that will change his life and the lives of all those he has touched.
