Middle-aged and over-weight British playwright Joe Green hasn’t been able to write since the premiere of his play about a woman faced with a lifetime in a wheelchair. A young American actress who is suffering the debilitating effects of the illness that plagues the character in Joe’s play wishes to procure the rights to perform in it Off Broadway. A trans-Atlantic telephone romance develops which shatters when Sarah finally meets Joe and realizes he is not the man of her dreams, but a mass of unkindness and self-loathing.
