The story is based on a real-life event the 1913 U.S. Open golf championship at which two equally sympathetic young men both of whom grew up economically and socially disadvantaged go club to club in one of the most exciting and dramatic athletic events of the early 20th century.

Janeane Garofalo (The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Mystery Men) uses her wit and sass as Mary, a cynical and straight talking music critic who never really got over her failed marriage and refuses to open her heart again.

Gradually her heart begins to soften and eventually she manages to not only love the dog, but to find room in her heart for her home loving sister and patient boyfriend, Jake (Kris Holden).
