Overview
Melvin, a reluctant hero who is far from super, has been suppressing his telekinetic powers for years with booze, drugs, and women. In the process, he has failed at practically everything, most of all as a parent to his son.

For a man who can do the impossible, it might be a fight even he can’t win.
