What does it take to restore a person to the land of the living? Therapy? Family pressure? Romance? -or just a great sense of humor. Bart Jones, two years after the death of his wife, shelters in his house watching Jeopardy. His children advocate a retirement home. Bart sees life in a retirement home as sitting on an ice floe waiting for a polar bear. To make peace, Bart agrees to counseling. The therapy sessions reveal strange and bizarre episodes from Bart's legal past, his defensive humor, his need to develop empathy. As Bart emerges from isolation, his love life rekindles, and he must choose whether to save the husband of the woman he loves.
