Miller is working on a screenplay of his memoir Blue Like Jazz. The problem is that his life is too boring for a movie, so they have to change his life in the script. Miller wonders about applying the same screenwriting techniques to his own life. Besides just thinking about it, he puts it into action. With humor and poignancy reminiscent of Dave Eggers, Miller crafts a beautiful, if disjointed, story that will make you examine your own life.
