From director Peter Tolan, creator of the hit television series Rescue Me, comes Finding Amanda, a hilarious and heartbreaking autobiographical comedy about the compulsions we can't shake, and the unlikely lengths we'll go to while trying.
Matthew Broderick plays Taylor Mendon, a writer and producer working on a little-respected sitcom. His chance to hit the big time was ruined by his addiction to drinks, drugs and gambling. Over in Las Vegas his twenty-year-old neice Amanda has been prostituting herself, most likely for drugs money. When Taylor's wife leaves him after finding out about his gambling addiction he decides to win her back by proving he can do the right thing, and leave the slots alone. So he travels to Vegas in search of his neice, who he hopes he can persuade to give up the seedy trade, while he manages to stay away from the casinos.
However, once he arrives in Vegas his addiction is stronger than he imagined, and finds it hard to stick to his plan.
