Synopsis

Mitchell Weeks, the sole occupant of a sprawling home in L.A.’s Topanga Canyon,
was the drummer for The Oath, a 70s band that mysteriously unraveled after

releasing their blockbuster, eponymous debut album. Unfortunately, Mitch's rock-
and-roll heart is now trapped in a seventy-year-old body ravaged from yearsof

excess. Astrid, hisonly child (and a successful attorney) longs for a normal father-
daughter relationship but is kept busy finding caretakers whocan tame the

reclusive Mitch and his stout regimen of pills, pot and porn. None are up tothe
task – until she meets Jeff Campbell.

Jeff, a thirty-something gay man at the top of his profession, sees right through
Mitch and his veneerof bitterness and indifference. Recognizing that much of
Mitch’s crankiness stems from his growing irrelevance in the world, he setsout to
make Mitch matter again. Mitch appreciates the sparring partner but confounds
Jeff at every turn. It’s not until they both learn that Jeff is very sick that a true
senseof purpose is thrust upon Mitch. The roles are reversed, as Mitch becomes
Jeff’s keeper –forging a bond that changes what remainsof both their lives.

Raw, funny, and fullof heart, Keeper is a late-coming-of-age comedy-drama that
reminds us that you’re never tooold for a new, life-changing friendship.
