Down-on-his-luck janitor Don McKay (Church) receives a letter from his high school sweetheart Sonny (Shue), informing him that she is critically ill and wants to see him before she dies. Abandoning his swiffer, he rushes to her side—but what begins as a redemptive romantic comedy turns twisted and eerie as soon as Don sets foot in his hometown.

...processes surrounding Harvard’s budget? The first and most obvious way is to maintain our human and personal connections with all people who live and work at Harvard. Whether it means talking with someone who works in your dining hall or stopping to catch up with the janitor you’ve seen in the Science Center, you may learn that someone you see every day has lost an eighth of her salary and can no longer afford to pay rent.
