The Storied Life Of A.J. Fikry is a heartwarming comedy-drama that is based on the bestselling novel by Gabrielle Zevin. It stars Owen Wilson as A.J. Fikry, a grumpy and isolated bookstore owner who has lost his passion for life and love. His rare edition of Poe poems, which was also his last connection to his late wife, is stolen, and things seem to be going downhill from there.
However, a turning point comes when the mysterious package arrives at the store, which is a surprise gift left by a baby girl called Maya, who has been abandoned by her mother in the bookstore. A.J. is initially hesitant to take care of Maya, but he soon finds himself growing attached to the spunky and precocious child. With the help of his friends, including the quirky and book-obsessed Amelia (played by Rashida Jones), A.J. sets out to raise Maya and rediscover the joy of living.
