An English professor in a sleepy college town, Tom Putnam spends his days browsing the Shakespeare shelves at the campus bookstore, managing his oddball department faculty, and caring for his wife Marjory, a fragile shut-in whose neuroses were exacerbated by Tom's brief, misguided affair a decade earlier. Then out of the blue Marjory invites Rose Callahan, the bookstore's charming new hire, to dinner. And Tom wonders if change is on the horizon.
