After stretching the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru, literary agent Jack McCall finds a Bodhi tree on his property. Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word we speak.

The movie never quite explains why this is so. It also never convinced me it should have been made. - One and a half stars
