Hooking a big one isn’t just about the bait; it’s about finding where the water—and your soul—runs deep. 🎣 One young man trades the city for a cabin to master the art of fly-fishing, only to realize the universe has much bigger fish for him to fry.
Gus Orviston leaves his dysfunctional fishing-obsessed parents behind to seek "The Ideal Schedule" in the Oregon wilderness. Along the riverbanks, Gus encounters a cast of eccentric locals and a mysterious fisherwoman named Eddy who challenge him to stop counting catches and start living.
