Nobody Survives Alone

Will and Sam are a young couple expecting their first child. He flies from Seattle to Chicago to visit her parents, intending to ask Sam's father, Tom, for permission to marry his daughter. Tom isn't happy about the relationship, and during dinner the conversation between the two men turns so tense that it becomes a heated argument. Will leaves the table without mentioning the pregnancy or the wedding. Directed by David M. Rosenthal, the film focuses on this family trip and on Will's relationship with his future in-laws, with Theo James in the lead role.
