The Foreigner is a hilarious yet touching comedy set in a rural Georgia fishing lodge. The story follows Charlie Baker, a shy and self-effacing proofreader from England, who arrives with his friend Froggy LeSueur for a weekend getaway. Charlie is painfully awkward around strangers, so Froggy concocts a plan: he’ll tell the lodge’s residents that Charlie doesn’t speak English. Believing he can’t understand a word, the locals speak freely in front of him—and Charlie becomes the unexpected keeper of their secrets.
