London Playwright James Barrie struggles with a recent flop. By chance, he meets a woman and her young children one day in the park. They strike up a long friendship, as much with her children as with their mother. He inspires their imagination, which in turn gives him ideas for a new play which he will call Peter Pan. The period detail is impeccable and the flights of fantasy fun, but Depp sleepwalks through the role and rarely shows any emotion, even when confronted with the end of his marriage.
