James, a reserved, logical, thinker has employed a therapist to better understand and ultimately solve a looming crisis he's been quietly bearing. Emily, the therapist, has to overcome more than she typically does with her other patients as an intelligent and evasive James strategically maneuvers around what he wants to hear as opposed to what he needs to hear. Ultimately, he discovers that the root of his problem has less to do with love and more to do with life itself.
