Richard Dunn, a no-hit wonder of a novelist, is sent to Long Island by his wife, who expects him to get cracking on his next novel. Dunn isn't totally alone, though. Along for the ride is a local teen who befriends Richard after he hires her to be a babysitter. His babysitter. Plus, there's Richard's imaginary best friend from childhood, Captain Excellent, a confidante always ready to prod him along toward adulthood, whether Dunn wants it or not.
