Michael Finnegan, a past-his-prime journalist, has been relegated to ghost-writing "Dear Felicity", a column for the lovelorn. He and his wife live in a decaying neighborhood. She is long despondent over the loss of their young son, and lives in a fantasy world. Despite these reversals, Finnegan retains his optimism; he knows that lives can start over, and over. He gets his own chance to begin again when one day on the bus, he meets Liz DeHaan, an art teacher who is having an affair with a married man.
The film was released on VHS by Thorn EMI/HBO Video under license from Home Box Office, Inc. However, it never released on DVD or Blu-ray.
