About Dear Martin

Dave, a long-suffering husband, is stuck in a rut in his marriage when he discovers that his wife has been exchanging erotic letters with Martin, a psychopath in a high-security hospital. When Dave finally gathers the courage to confront him, Martin proposes a bargain: he will help Dave reignite his marriage if Dave helps convince Martin’s psychiatrist that he’s actually made a friend.
