The film tells the story of Jimmy, who is broke and desperate after being canned from a 20-year job as roadie for Blue Oyster Cult. With nowhere else to go, he returns home to Forest Hills, Queens to visit his aging mother, where a wild night with some hard-partying high school friends shows him that some things never change.

Actor Bobby Cannavale made his Broadway debut in 2007 in Theresa Rebeck's 'Mauritius', for which he received a Tony Award nomination and last season, starred in Stephen Adly Guirgis' 'The Motherf**ker with the Hat', for which he received a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award. He received rave reviews in the 2005 Off-Broadway revival of Hurlyburly.

Cannavale's many television appearances include NBC's "Will & Grace" (Emmy Award), Showtime's "Nurse Jackie," HBO's "Six Feet Under" and the starring role in ABC's "Cupid." His film credits include The Station Agent (Audience Award, Sundance Film Festival; SAG Award nomination), the Sundance Film Festival hit, Win Win (which reunited him with Station Agent writer/director Tom McCarthy), The Other Guys, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, Diminished Capacity, Fast Food Nation, The Night Listener, Haven, Shall We Dance, Happy Endings, Romance & Cigarettes, Gloria, The Bone Collector and Washington Heights.
