Will, who has fled his rural hometown after a scandal at his Evangelical church, comes to the Hobby Lobby, not only for employment, but also to rekindle a relationship with Alex, his brooding teenage son, whom he gave up for adoption several years ago. Alex works there along with Leroy, his adopted brother and protector, and Anna, a hapless young woman who reads bland fiction but hopes for dramatic endings. As their manager, foul-mouthed Pauline, tries ceaselessly to find order (and profit) in the chaos of small business, these lost souls of the Hobby Lobby confront an unyielding world through the beige-tinted impossibility of modern faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This clear-eyed comedy will lift your heart.\" -\u003cem\u003eTime Out New York\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Samuel D.
