Nearing Grace is a 2005 film directed by Rick Rosenthal, based on the novel by Scott Sommer. A coming-of-age independent feature film set in late 1970s, Nearing Grace follows high school senior Henry Nearing . Nearing has to cope with the death of his mother, and is also forced to come to terms with evolving from a self-absorbed and confused adolescent to accepting the responsibilities of early adulthood. Unfortunately his father, Shep , and his older brother, Blair , don’t offer any kind of guidance, and find themselves detaching at the seams. His father quits his teaching job, buys a... motorcycle, and becomes a perpetual drunk, while his brother takes off to live as a transient doper. To make things even more complicated, Henry has two young women on his mind: the sexy, wealthy, and very popular Grace and childhood friend Merna —one drives him crazy, the other keeps him sane.
