This life is about getting a new chance. Kevin Spacey plays a guy with low self esteem, and matter in fact, he doesn't have a life. After awhile he gets in touch with a bimbo and they get married. They get a daughter! The bimbo is cheating on him, but he doesn't do anything about it. Cause he thinks it's normal. Later on she dies in a car crash. So Kevin and his daughter go to Newfoundland, the canadian province where his parents were born. He wants to make a new start and gets a job as a journalist at a paper called the Shipping News! He is a good writer, and he finally realises that he ain't a loser, and gains self esteem. Beautiful! Kevin Spacey is da man.
