Synopsis

When Dane (Jason Segel) moves in to assist his best friends from college, Nicole (Dakota Johnson) and Matthew (Casey Affleck) Teague, all three expect a short stay. Nicole has been diagnosed with cancer and Matthew is struggling to keep up with her needs while trying to help raise their two daughters. But as a temporary gesture extends into an indefinite living arrange-ment, he all but leaves his own life behind. A sweet and stalwart source of support, Dane's commitment extends beyond the call of duty and comes at the cost of his own job and relationships. As Nicole's condition worsens, the lines between friendship and family begin to blur.
