Jed and Lila are compulsive movers. For them, moving boxes, packing
tape, and open houses are the ultimate aphrodisiacs. They meet on a
moving day, Jed proposes on a moving day, and they end up moving 18
times in 18 years. Moving defines their lives, their identities.
They move for fun, to recover from tragedy, and for new
opportunities-until Lila decides she wants them to put down roots,
in Boston. Lila's decision strains their marriage to its limits.
What once brought them together now drives them apart. Jed, a
computer programming wiz, takes off on a strange cross-country
odyssey as a hired hand on a moving van. Nothing about his marriage
or life makes sense anymore, and even his obsessive counting can't
get his mind back on track. Lila ends up in the hospital after
accidentally cutting off her fingers (she's a woodworking
instructor) and struggles to both recover and find her husband.
They both desperately search for a way back to each other that will
make sense of how they've changed since they first met and married.
Moving tells the story of a marriage challenged by wanderlust,
obsession, infertility and adoption, and race. Ultimately, Jed and
Lila must find a combination of forgiveness and self-compromise to
have any hope of staying together.
