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.
Can a man rediscover the texture of living after grief has rendered his world a blur of polite detachment? This gentle character study trades sweeping melodrama for the quiet, messy reality of two people trying to find their way back to themselves.
