The plot centers around Louise Harrington (Laura Linney), a successful middle-aged admissions officer at a New York City art school who is still struggling to come to terms with the death of her first love, F. Scott Feinstadt (Topher Grace), who died 20 years ago when he was a student at the same school.
Louise has never been able to come to terms with her feelings for F. Scott and is still deeply haunted by his death.
