Watchlist:
When a fragile young woman named Clio (Missy Yager) seeks asylum in a New England church, rural preacher Ezra Caton (Will Arnett) sees her presence as a welcome distraction from his humdrum life. And although she can barely speak, Clio makes quick work of capturing Ezra's attention -- and pulling him away from his girlfriend. Chris Noth ("Sex and the City") and Brooke Smith (Silence of the Lambs) co-star in this dark, brooding drama.
