Richard Gere and Paul Schrader are back together for the first time since American Gigolo!

Director Leonard Fife (Gere), feels his life slipping away after being diagnosed with cancer. One of sixty-thousand draft evaders and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid serving in Vietnam, Leonard is guilt-stricken from a history of lies and half-truths being the foundation of a sucessful career as a highly-lauded documentarian. Wanting to de-mythologise his life as a young man (Jacob Elordi) in the 60s, he sits for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli). At his insistence, Leondard's wife Emma (Uma Therman) is witness to his revalations as he candidly explores his shortcomings and bares the scars of a life marred by fraud, neglect, and regret.
