Synopsis

Based on the nonfiction novel The Orchid Thief, by Susan Orlean, which is itself based on the true story of John Laroche, a plant dealer who conspired with three Seminole Indians to clone rare orchids and sell them at exorbitant rates...

In his effort to overcome writer’s block, Kaufman seeks the help of his (fictional) brother, Donald.
