Famous for his rapid-fire talking and sly ways, self-centered top-shelf literary agent Jack McCall can surely talk his way out of almost anything. However, in an attempt to seal the deal with quiet, peaceful New-Age guru Dr Sinja, the spiritual leader sees right through Jack, and a magical tree sprouts up in his garden that has a strange connection with him. Now, for the first time in his life, Jack needs to be frugal with words, as the mysterious plant sheds a leaf with every word Jack chooses to squander. But what would happen if the tree lost all its leaves? Can Jack understand the meaning of words, and above all, the essence of life?
