Wallace Avery is tired of his life. Divorced, disconnected from his son, he decides to walk away from his life. He buys himself a new identity as Arthur Newman, and sets out to Indiana, where he believes he has a chance to work as a golf pro. His road trip is derailed when he meets Michaela Fitzgerald at his motel. It takes her all of a couple hours to bust Arthur’s identity scam. It takes Arthur a lot longer to bust hers. Colin Firth and Emily Blunt co-star in this gently comic love story set in a perfect storm of identity crisis.
