Drama starring Laura Linney as Louise Harrington, a divorced, thirty-something admission's officer at Columbia University's School of Fine Arts. When Louise arranges to interview a prospective student at least 15 years younger than she is, she's shocked to find out he is the spitting image of her high-school sweetheart, an artist who had died in a tragic car accident before they graduated. Within hours of the interview, Louise and Scott (Topher Grace) have embarked on a passionately uninhibited affair. But is Scott just a reminder of Louise's lost love?
