Kenneth Dewar is an accountant, so successful over the years that
he has become a "venture capitalist" or a "financier" with only one
client, a secret one at that, the patrician banker, Ellsworth
Dodge. Dewar specializes in "reorganizing" high technology firms,
to the immense benefit of Dodge and himself.
During the course of his life Dewar had forgotten his wife and
daughter. They are there, and they speak to each other and life
goes forward - it is just that he has forgotten them. One Sunday
afternoon, his wife dies suddenly and unexpectedly while taking a
nap, and Kenneth is forced to remember her again. He also is forced
to look after himself and the apartment and the laundry, and he
starts to remember many things about his life that he had
forgotten, just as he had forgotten his family. He even tries to
make an accounting of his marriage, to draw up a balance sheet. And
he finds out some things that he never knew about his wife and
about human accounting. It is a moving story of what business does
to women and men, set in Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham along Route
128.
