A bittersweet fairytale “hangover of the coming of age” story,
The Book of Caleb plays as a quirky and tender study of the
quarter-life crisis. When unfocused wanderer Caleb Callahan
(Jeremy Luno) returns home to suburban Bucks County, Pennsylvania
and reunites with childhood friends Montag (Michael Hampton) and
Swank (Nikitas Manikatos), he finds himself swept into a
dangerous anti-adulthood highlighted with overblown enemies and
high concept pranks. Love interest Cole (Mackenzie Firgens)
somewhat grounds Caleb, but as the stakes get higher for the man-
boy to stand up for his beliefs against the comic tyranny of real
estate mogul James Paddington (Paul Gleason) and off-kilter
Officer Scar (Jeff Berg), Caleb finds all his stability pulled
out from under him, the questions of his existence diminished to
those of friendship, loyalty and righteousness.
