He is alive, but has stiff troubles with the local drug lord, who covers his drug commerce using a small Jewish community Tulsa of Oklahoma. Upon arrival Bill Kincaid reunites with his mother, a very eccentric woman, played by Susan Sarandon. Besides he meets a charming and educated young lady (performed by Keri Russell), who has preferred a gentler life of Oklahoma to academia society.

Little by little Bill gets caught up in a criminal world of drug business and involved into his brother’s affairs. The professor has to do impossible to help his brother to get off the conflict with a local drug lord and his gang. Taking into account the fact, that the knowledge of Marcus Aurelius and Plato has prepared Bill to an absolutely different kind of activity, he has only a slightest idea of how to act in such a situation...

The film from Tim Blake Nelson blends comedy, classical philosophy, crime drama and violence.
