Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his
dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human
connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided
conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest,
self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably
alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead
relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage
ended and given up for adoption.
