Liam Pennywell - widowed, remarried, divorced - loses his job and moves to a tiny apartment where a shocking occurrence jolts him out of his certainties. Tyler's depiction of Liam's relationships with his daughters, his grandson, his ex-wife and a new woman he encounters make you laugh and cry and want to shake him for being so himself. This is vintage stuff, small town America inhabited by ordinary people trying to make sense of their lives.
