Henry R. Whitney, famed author and one lonely human being, lives a quiet, remote life in his one bedroom apartment. One day, after being hit on by a barista at his local coffee house, he discovers that said woman and her roommate live next door to him, Stacy and Hilary. The ladies try to figure this strange man out, a person who seems to just want to be left alone. Stacy sees something more in him and wants to find out the truth.
The movie is a character-driven piece, simple on a story, rich with personality, as we discover traits in others that, while we don't understand, we have to learn to respect. Stacy simply wishes to find out more about a man who is so distant, so incapable of love (or chooses to ignore it) that it almost seems impossible for such a person to exist. A funny, harsh, and sometimes heartwarming tale of human nature.
