After losing a presidential campaign and his girlfriend, Josh Swensen (a.k.a. Larry) can't seem to get off the couch. His usual overactive imagination and save-the-world mindset have all but vanished, and his best friend, Beth, is seriously worried. When Beth coaxes Josh into taking a walk at Walden Pond, he meets Gus Muldarian, a spiritual guru who encourages Josh to join his study group as a way to find deeper meaning in life. Josh agrees, but what begins as a harmless Thoreau-esque search for meaning soon turns into Josh's most chaotic and profound adventure yet. Black-and-white photographs.
