Lloyd lives with his sister Constance, a single mother, and has no plans for his future. Diane has had a sheltered academic upbringing and lives with her doting divorced father, who owns the retirement home where she works & is due to attend a fellowship in England at the end of the summer. Their relationship grows intimate and they sleep together much to her father's concern. Lloyd's musician friend Corey (who has never gotten over her cheating ex-boyfriend) warns him to take care of Diane.
