Plot
Frank Keane (Robert Carlyle) is a grieving baker in a near catatonic state who happens upon a car accident. The loquacious and insightful victim, Steve Mills (John Goodman), is on his way to an appointment in Pasadena with a years-ago acquaintance; he asks Frank to go in his place. It's a dance class. Frank goes to find Steve's friend. The story moves back and forth among Steve's childhood, the accident scene, and the aftermath of Frank's first Lindy hop.
