Sometimes the mess we find ourselves in is not entirely our own creation. Take Samuel Fischer, a respected physician nearing the end of his career who sells his medical practice. After the papers are signed, he's abruptly fired, while his wife is promoted to business manager. Sam is confused and furious when he confronts his wife. She slams a door on the ugly argument, bolting from the house to go for a bike ride in the rain. And she's hit by a car. Dr. Fischer sinks into a deep depression until he decides to change lives and become a business angel, hoping to meet people and create a new identity. Fischer is exposed to all sorts of individuals and ideas- getting pitched on health clubs, luxury goods, jazz guitar, and music therapy. He reflects on these proposals with Debbie Flynn, an outgoing realtor who has adopted Sam as some sort of pet project. But it turns out that Debbie has devils of her own. When she has a flashback, Debbie's past is revealed, perhaps unlocking Samuel Fischer's future.
