October Road (2007)

Best-selling author Nick Garrett hopes to get over his writer's block by going back to his hometown of Knights Ridge, Mass.; once there, he realizes he's got to face the people he wrote about unfavorably in his successful novel -- and whom he's successfully avoided these last 10 years. Best friend Eddie Latekka is disappointed Nick abandoned their dream of starting a business together, and high school girlfriend Hannah Daniels has moved on with her life. While Nick doesn't regret fulfilling his mother's dying wish that he experience life outside Knights Ridge, he struggles to be included again among those he let down.
