Seeking refuge from the relentless chaos of his literary celebrity in New York, Duluoz escapes to the rugged, isolated coastline of Big Sur, hoping to find solace and sobriety in the company of his friend Josh Lucas’s character and the natural world. However, the serene beauty of the California coast proves to be a deceptive sanctuary. As Duluoz wrestles with inner demons, his relationships with a group of friends and lovers, including Kate Bosworth and Radha Mitchell, become increasingly strained. Directed by Michael Polish, this drama delves into the raw, poetic turmoil of a man caught between the desire for peace and the pull of his own chaotic genius, painting a haunting portrait of a soul in crisis against a breathtaking backdrop.
