Fenton Dillane, a young writer, returns to his New York City home after an extended absence prompted by a scandalous incident involving his debut novel. His family is a eclectic mix of personalities with its own set of issues: his father, a famous writer who seems to have given up on his career; his mother, who has her own complexities and struggles; and his sister, who is about to get married.

As Fenton navigates the landscape of his old life, he reconnects with an ex-girlfriend whom he never truly moved on from emotionally. His pursuit to mend the broken relationships in his life is fraught with challenges, as he attempts to balance the weight of his past mistakes with the intricate dynamics of family ties and personal redemption. Along the way, Fenton confronts the realities of love, forgiveness, and following one’s dreams amidst the chaos that defines his world.
