Based on the novel by David Duchovny, Bucky F*cking Dent follows Ted (Logan Marshall-Green, Prometheus, The Invitation), a Yankee Stadium peanut slinger writing the Great American Novel in his spare time. When Ted discovers his estranged, Red Sox fanatic father (David Duchovny, The X-Files, Californication) has a terminal cancer diagnosis, Ted returns home to take care of the old man. While Ted’s father wants to make up for lost time and relive his youth, his health drops precipitously when the Sox take a loss.
