Alan Johnson has everything he needs to get through life: a good
job, a beautiful and loving wife, and their wonderful children. Yet
he feels isolated because he finds having a hard-working job and
managing a family too much to handle and has no one to talk to about
it. Charlie Fineman, on the other hand, doesn't have a job or a
family. He used to have both until he lost his family on the fateful
day of 9/11, and the grief he felt caused him to quit his job and
isolate himself from everyone around him. As it turns out, Alan and
Charlie were roommates in college, and a chance encounter one night
rekindles the friendship they shared. They soon feel that their
friendship is the one thing that allows them to forget about their
problems.
