Adult Beginners

Jake is a young entrepreneur whose company collapses just as it is about to launch. His professional life in tatters and his personal life not much better, he leaves Manhattan and moves in with his pregnant sister Justine, her husband Danny and their three-year-old son in the suburbs where he grew up. There he ends up looking after his nephew during the week, taking on a role he is not prepared for, and the arrangement forces him to consider what being responsible actually means.
