A once-successful novelist (Jeff Daniels), constantly attended by the imaginary superhero who has been his pal since he was a kid, struggles to recover what made him great while watching his marriage fail. He derives some inspiration from his platonic friendship with a Cape Cod high-school girl.
This seems like what a indie is supposed to be. A ridiculous circumstance drives X to meet Y, which helps X like Z with Y. Seems simplistic enough but it allows known actors to play in unknown, uncomfortable or out-of-element situations, kinda like practice. I mean really, just listen to the pitch, "Jeff Daniels, you're going to be a once-successful novelist who's only friend is an imaginary superhero who has aged with you since you were little. Oh, and your marriage is failing. GO." I don't know, seems tricky to nail...So I'll probably see it...
