Rory Jansen is a young writer who is failing to achieve any kind of literary recognition and is on the edge of giving up as he and his wife Dora struggle to pay the bills. One day, as a kind gesture, Dora buys Rory an antique looking leather case in which he later discovers a collection of papers detailing a highly compelling and well written novel. In a moment of utter desperation and thoughtlessness, Rory copies the story and gets it published under his own name finally achieving the recognition and success he so craved. It's only a matter of time before he gets found out and he begins to realise how many people's lives he has affected by his one moment of stupidity. He must face the consequences for stealing the work of another writer and find a way to fix everything.
This remarkably touching romantic drama is the directorial debut of both actor Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal (story writers for 'Tron: Legacy'). It's a story of real mistakes, real consequences and real life lessons all tied into one in this captivatingly intense flick. 'The Words' is set to be released across the country from September 7th 2012.
