Andrea Falstaff celebrates her seventy-second birthday with family, but an unexpected guest from her past disturbs the party. Yet how can Andrea's first lover Thom Sugerman still be so young; the last time Andrea saw him, five decades before, he was already thirty-two years old.
With no apparent reason for Thom's odd reappearance, and no other place for him to go, Andrea allows him to sleep on the sofa, yet Thom wants to resume their previous relationship. Andrea struggles with feelings she never lost, while trying to explain to her adult grandchildren just who this man is, and what he means to her.
