Lebanese immigrant Amer Atrash (Philippe Caland) has always found the American dream is just slightly out of reach, but he thinks he knows the source of his troubles. Years ago, he was responsible for putting another man (Oscar winner Forest Whitaker) in a wheelchair, and Amer blames this event for cursing his life. His wife (SIDEWAYS’ Virginia Madsen) gives Amer the advice to find the man to make amends, which sets Amer on an unforgettable path that will lead him to a changed life. Oscar nominee Minnie Driver also stars in this film that was written, directed, and produced by Caland.
