A character-driven comedy-drama about an arrogant professor learning humility through family and romantic entanglement, balancing intellectual wit with emotional growth.

Professor Lawrence Wetherhold might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant -- but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he's as downright flummoxed as the next guy.
