Shia Labeouf plays the title character, Charlie Countryman, an aimless man who suddenly finds himself without his mother or any direction (and a really bad last name). He meets a cellist (Evan Rachel Wood) who he feels a connection to because of a series of events put into motion by his ghost-mom, and her ghost-dad. Then he does some drugs, gets hit by a car, has his life threatened multiple times, and nearly gets killed. And there's some random souls floating around...and a Harry Potter kid suffers from priapism. Hooh boy, Lady Luck, it's going to be a long one.
