A playwright decides to write a play about the death of his daughter, emotionally unable to deal with his grief in any other way. The play he writes is about a grieving fathers involvement with a deceased daughters college roommate. When in the course of directing the play, the vulnerable playwright is lured into an affair with an aggressive young actress, life suddenly parallels art in this play-with-in-a-play scenario. Meanwhile, the playwrights relationship with his wife and a surviving son is on the verge of falling apart, until long-held family secrets are finally revealed in a bruising but ultimately healing finale.
