“The Foreigner” is about Englishman Charlie Baker who finds himself in a lodge in Georgia, trying to clear his mind of his terminally sick wife. In his depression, he begs his best friend on government assignment, Froggy LeSueur, to help him avoid speaking with anyone. When Froggy tells the residents that Charlie is from a foreign country, they become at ease with sharing their secrets around him.
