PLOT
Josie Tyrell (Rachel Bilson) is a teenage runaway, an artist's model, charmingly self-aware, plucky and an habitué of the '80s LA punk rock scene. She is a white trash escapee from Bakersfield, having left a going nowhere life there. Now, sex, drugs and rock n' roll inform her days and nights.
Josie meets Michael Faraday (James McAvoy), son of empty and manipulative concert pianist Meredith Loewy (Meg Ryan) and writer Calvin Faraday (Timothy Hutton), long divorced. He is everything that she is not: refined, wealthy, well-traveled, brilliant by fits and starts. He is also a Harvard dropout, leaving school so he can paint; his new obsession. He refuses help from his mother living in a bleak world of privilege, who is furious about his decision to leave school, but it doesn't bother him to have Josie working three jobs to support them. He is given to black moods, frozen in amber by his perfectionism, contemptuous of those who do not agree with him about art and life. Josie adores him. One day much like any other, he leaves their house, saying that he is going to his mother's so that he can paint in solitude. Instead, he goes to a motel in 29 Palms and shoots himself in the head.
What follows is Josie’s further descent into grief from his death, drugs and booze. How could her one love kill himself? Was she not enough? Meredith calls her and says, "Why are you alive? What is the excuse for Josie Tyrell? I ask you." Ultimately, they form a tenuous relationship, because all that is left of Michael lives in the two women. Josie even lives with Meredith for a while. Before their relationship can continue, Josie must figure out her one love Michael, and learn what pushed him over the edge. As dangerous and volatile as Michael’s death, these two women’s relationship forces them to take a look at their own lives and the effect it had on the death of their one true love.
