We like Florence: shes considerate, sweet, pretty, and terrific with kids and dogs. Shes twenty-five, personal assistant to an L.A. family thats off on vacation. Her bosss brother comes in from New York City, fresh from a stay at an asylum, to take care of the house. Hes Roger, a forty-year-old carpenter, gone from L.A. for fifteen years. He arrives, doesnt drive, and needs Florences help, especially with the familys dog. Hes also connecting with former band-mates - two men and one woman with whom he has a history. He over-analyzes, has a short fuse, and doesnt laugh at himself easily. As he navigates past and present, hes his own saboteur. And what of Florence? is Roger one more responsibility for her or something else?
Forty-one year old Roger Greenberg is a Los Angeles raised, New York based carpenter. He has emotional issues, as witnessed by the fact that he has just been released from the hospital, where he was recuperating from a nervous breakdown. He is hyper-sensitive and hyper-critical, he who spends much time and energy writing to large corporations about the minutiae they do right and more importantly that they do wrong. He, however, sees his critical nature as being openly truthful. Roger has been spinning in his life, especially in comparison to what may have been, as, when he was younger, he vetoed a record deal for his up and coming band because of the details of the contract, all three members who never did have a career in the music business. Of his two still Los Angeles residing band mates, Eric Beller has made a financial success of his life but has not forgiven Roger for the veto, while Ivan Schrank is holistically less of a success but who has outwardly forgiven Roger to remain perhaps Rogers closest friend. Roger literally pushes pause on his life temporarily in agreeing to house sit back in Los Angeles for his brother Phillip Greenberg when Phillip and his family go on vacation to Vietnam, in the process Roger offering to build a doghouse for Phillips familys German Shepard, Mahler. A support for anything Roger may need in Los Angeles is Phillips personal assistant, twenty-five year old Florence Marr. A recent college graduate, Florence is smart but insecure, she having no clear goals for or direction in her life. Roger and Florences casual encounters lead to a Roger initiated sexual relationship of sorts, Florence who can see a smart and funny person somewhere beneath Rogers damaged emotional exterior. Roger and Florences relationship has its many ups and more downs, the latter which are largely a manifestation of Rogers outlook on his life, the two out of necessity keeping in contact if only for Mahlers sake. What ends up happening between Roger and Florence is largely affected by Roger getting a closer look at his life in being reunited with Eric, Ivan, an ex-serious girlfriend named Beth, and his college student niece, Sara.
