In Harmony House, Dan Boyle attempts to adapt to his new life as a
recent widower. His serial infidelities and alienation from his
wife preceding her death haunt him, and as much as he wants to
insulate himself from family, friends and neighbors, "untethering"
from relationships proves difficult. Shedding obligations is easier
wished than done. As he examines his behavior during his marriage
and following his wife's diagnosis and death, Dan accepts that he
has failed to live up to his own standards, much less the standards
of others. He is torn between admitting his shortcomings and
ignoring them. Will he change and live his life as a decent man? Or
will he persist in placing his own hedonistic impulses before the
needs of others? Is redemption what he needs? Is it what he seeks?
Or is it superfluous? A chain that tethers him to a life he wants
to forget.
