Leopold is not a bad man. He is simply the wrong man for almost every situation in life.
At fifty-two, Leopold has spent most of his life under the watchful eye of his sharp-tongued mother in a quiet house in Southampton. His world is small, predictable, and safe. He feeds the chickens, repairs old furniture, and tries very hard not to make a mess of things.
Unfortunately, making a mess of things is the one talent Leopold seems to possess in abundance.
When his mother suddenly passes away, Leopold is forced to face the world alone for the first time. A well-meaning cousin offers him a simple job in a Manhattan accounting firm. The task should be easy: deliver documents, bring coffee, run small errands.
What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.
Within days, Leopold loses his suitcase in the subway, destroys office equipment, ruins a major business contract with the help of an enthusiastic Labrador, and accidentally launches himself into a series of disasters that send him on the strangest road trip imaginable.
From skydiving mishaps and roadside misadventures to police encounters and unexpected friendships, Leopold's journey becomes a darkly comic exploration of failure, courage, and second chances.
His Name Is Leopold is a black comedy about a man who fails spectacularly at almost everything... and somehow keeps moving forward anyway.
Sometimes the greatest adventures begin with a mistake.
