A tender, melancholic exploration of grief and emotional awakening, where a withdrawn man learns to reconnect with life and love through an unconventional woman.

After the death of his son, travel writer Macon Leary seems to be sleep walking through life. Macon's wife is having similar problems. They separate, and Macon meets a strange, outgoing woman who brings him 'back down to earth', but his wife soon thinks their marriage is still worth another try.
