Mr. Laurence, I Presume...

About Mr. Laurence, I Presume...

Inspired by Emily Brontë's classic novel, Wuthering Heights, and the subsequent movie starring Sir Laurence Oliver, Mr. Laurence tells a story of perpetual romance, torture, acceptance, and the power of forgiveness. Eighteen-year-old Joe has taken a serious bump to the head, and his beloved but unsteady girlfriend, Angie, has landed on the wrong side of the law. How's a young couple supposed to start a life together when one of them is behind bars and the other is seemingly too immature to cope? Enter Mr. Laurence, a WWII veteran and a charming philanthropist who brings magic and healing wherever he goes. Beloved in the Long Island enclave where he continues his in-laws' mission to support young victims of sexual abuse, Mr. Laurence, with guidance from his scintillating wife, Isabelle, takes Joe under his wing and helps the young man chart a new direction. The ripple effects of Mr. Laurence's generosity extend to everyone in Joe's circle, and offers Angie a path forward to freedom and away from the self-loathing that was instilled in her by a brutal upbringing.
