## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A movie about men learning to father themselves, one cigarette at a time. Paul, mourning his wife and nearly flattened by fate outside a Brooklyn smoke shop, lets a stranger with daddy issues crash on his couch. The smoke clears and it turns out everyone’s just improvising parenthood as they go.
