Away From Her

The central character in Definitely, Maybe, Will Hayes, knows a little something about advertising himself. He works at an ad agency and is currently trying to figure out how to pitch the latest cereal to kids. He’s also trying to figure out how he got stuck in this job when he began his career trajectory as an idealistic volunteer for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992. He also can’t quite figure out how his marriage went sour. Forcing him to put all this into perspective is his precocious (is there any other kind of kid in Hollywood these days?) eleven-year-old daughter Maya.

But Kernan, who lives in the shadow of his now deceased but still famous sports announcer dad, is cruising on autopilot and has been unable to find a voice that his editors think sings. Then he meets a homeless man who calls himself Champ (Samuel L. Jackson). The man claims to have been boxing champion Bob Satterfield. Kernan can't believe his good fortune. Everyone thinks Satterfield is dead but here he is and if Kernan can play his cards right, there's a cover-making story to be mined. But what happens after this chance encounter tests Kernan in ways that he could have never anticipated, and raises questions about about journalistic ethics and responsibility, as well as about the relationships of fathers and sons.
