realizes that the odd people are the exception, he begins to enjoy
an active social life. Although Ben is not looking for romance, he
meets three special women--a caregiver for her sick husband, a
psychiatrist with a secret, a former dental patient--and has a
unique relationship with each of them. Guided by the wisdom of his
deceased wife, who speaks to him in his dreams, he makes choices
and ultimately moves on.
