Jack and Elizabeth meet in the Chicago art scene of the 1990s, two dreamers clinging to each other and to the thrill of creation. Twenty years later, they are suburban parents, struggling to balance marriage, family, and the bizarre rituals of modern happiness. Polyamorous suitors, renovation obsessions, and wellness fads push them into a maze of discontent.
As middle age sets in, the cracks widen. Jack wrestles with unrealized ambitions. Elizabeth carries the weight of her family’s past. The people they once were seem far removed from the spouses they have become.
To survive, each must confront private demons and uncover whether love can endure the weight of time, compromise, and disappointment—or whether even the best partnerships unravel in silence.
