A nostalgic, introspective romantic comedy about a disillusioned man returning to his college campus and confronting questions of aging, meaning, and an inappropriate attraction to a younger student.

Newly single, 35, and uninspired by his job, Jesse Fisher worries that his best days are behind him. But no matter how much he buries his head in a book, life keeps pulling Jesse back. When his favorite college professor invites him to campus to speak at his retirement dinner, Jesse jumps at the chance.
