While the term demolition is about
tearing things apart, investment banker Davis Mitchell is knocking down things
to put his life back together.
Mitchell, played by Academy-award
winner Jake Gyllenhaal, lost his wife in a tragic car accident and struggles
with his own life after the loss. He starts to unravel and pours out his
emotions in a complaint letter to a vending machine company.
What starts out as a frustrated
complaint about a stuck package of candy turns into a silent cry for help
received by the company’s customer service representative Karen (Naomi Watts). While Karen has burdens of her own, among
which is the challenge of single-handedly raising a child, she takes the
floundering widower under her wing. Mitchell begins to bond with Karen’s son
Chris (Judah Lewis) and together they set about demolishing the remains of
Mitchell’s shattered life so he can piece it all back together.
