Ed Wallis (Nat Wolff) is the new kid in town, recently relocated with his spirited newly single mom (Sarah Silverman). Already a bit of an eccentric because of his quick wit and intellect, it’s not clear how Ed’s going to fit in at his new school where football players are revered – and it doesn’t help that brainy Ed secretly thinks he can be a great wide receiver. Likewise, the only person he connects to is equally intelligent Eloise (Emma Roberts), though he’s unable to admit his deep feelings for her.
That all starts to change when Ed is given a class assignment to interview “an older person†about life. Not really knowing anyone “old†in the area, Ed asks his tough-looking neighbor, Ashby Holt (Mickey Rourke), if he wouldn’t mind helping Ed out. For his part, Ashby has just received a terrible diagnosis from his doctor – something that the gruff, reclusive tough guy doesn’t want to deal with. But it means he can’t drive, and agrees to be Ed’s subject as long as Ed can drive him where he needs to go (which is basically the local bar).
Ed’s opinion about Ashby changes when he discovers that Ashby isn’t a retired napkine salesman, but in fact a CIA hit man with nearly a hundred professional jobs completed. Learning about Ashby’s secret – and realizing that he needs to think about the long-term implications of his own actions - gives Ed a new perspective on life, and prompts him to start taking chances and being more courageous, often with unexpected results. Ashby, meanwhile, has his own journey as Ed’s questions lead him to realize that some of his targets may have been personal, not political. With limited time left, Ashby tries to find his own courage to set things right. In a poignant and often hilarious grown-up coming-of-age buddy story, ASHBY finds both the joy and the heartbreak of discovering who we are and living life on our own terms.
