Josh Radnor writes, directs and stars in this indie romantic comedy.

Jesse (Radnor) is a 35-year old literature graduate living an aimless life in New York City, working a dead-end job as an university admissions officer and fresh from the break-up of a stale relationship.

He gets the opportunity to escape the rat race when he receives an invitation to the retirement dinner of his favourite professor, Peter (Richard Jenkins), at his former university in Ohio.

There he meets pretty 19-year-old theatre student Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), and the two begin a romance.

But can their mutual attraction withstand the age gap and geographical distance that lie between them?
