Leaves Of Grass

Drugs, Murder and Brotherly Love

Synopsis

Bill Kincaid's (Edward Norton) life takes a downward spiral when he returns home to rural Oklahoma after receiving news of his twin brother's murder in a pot deal gone bad. Upon arrival, he finds that reports of Brady's (also played by Edward Norton) death are “greatly exaggerated” and is quickly caught up in one of his brother's schemes. Despite severe doubts, Bill decides to participate in his brother’s plan, choosing to spend his time as “Brady” in the company of his mother, Daisy (Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon) who has retired from the counter-culture and prematurely chosen to move into a retirement home – and Janet (Keri Russell), an educated woman who has bypassed academia in favor of a quieter life. Meanwhile, Brady and his best friend/business partner Bolger (writer-director Tim Blake Nelson) use this perfect alibi to confront one of the area's most notorious drug dealers, Pug Rothbaum (Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss), about some unfinished business.
