Spring Forward focuses on the friendship between two men who work for the parks department in a small New England town. His first day on the job, Paul (Liev Schreiber), a skittish ex-con looking for a second chance, is partnered with Murph (Ned Beatty), a grizzled veteran who's nearing retirement. The two seem to have little in common ... but over the course of a year, shared confidences draw them closer together.
