Book Week

Synopsis

Budding author and burned out high school English teacher, Nicholas Cutler, has been waiting 44 years for his life to start. Just when it looks like he may have to accept a life of unfilled ambitions and failure, Cutler receives an offer to publish one of his novels from a respected publishing house.

But what promises to be the best week of his life professionally, spirals into seven days of hell personally for the narcissistic and opportunistic bachelor. His gravely ill brother-in-law needs a kidney, his clucky girlfriend and boss demands a commitment, his troubled star basketball player is incarcerated while a misguided student teacher named Sarah requires his leadership.

And when his novel is suddenly passed over at the eleventh hour for a manuscript written by his most detested student, Cutler realizes there’s more to life than just himself and his personal pursuits; that a life not shared is a life not lived.
