For years, Jack Flanagan has buried himself in the little town of
Friendship, New York. Alcohol is a convenient way to banish the
ghosts of the past, but it can't fill the void of loneliness. A
serendipitous twist of fate has Jack dog-sitting Darla, an orphaned
Golden Retriever, and he soon realizes the true nature of
friendship.
Jack and Darla form a close bond as they struggle to find inner
peace over their individual losses. Yet the farmhouse where Jack is
staying is anything but peaceful-it's Norman Rockwell on the
outside and Salvador Dali within, as Jack continually fights the
bottle's lure. His relationship with Kate, a spunky middle-aged
waitress, forces Jack to confront his failed marriage, especially
when Kate reveals secrets of her own.
But it is the impish Darla who brings laughter at the most
dismal of times and touches the hearts of those around her. Through
Darla, Jack rethinks his life and realizes that it's never too late
to change.
