After her mother’s death, Pursy Will returns to New Orleans to claim her inheritance, only to find two troubled men, Bobby Long and Lawson Pines, living in her mother’s house. Bobby, a once-promising literature professor, and Lawson, his young protégé, have succumbed to alcoholism and despair. As tensions and secrets unravel, the three form an unlikely bond, confronting their past traumas and finding redemption through forgiveness and human connection in the heartwarming and soulful city of New Orleans.
