He is married to Megan and living in a small town an hour and half from New York City.
Keith, a high school music teacher, is frustrated and disillusioned with his career and life after he has given up a career as a musician following the arrival of Lauren.
In his spare time, he substitutes for a cello player in a symphony orchestra and is applying for a permanent role.
He wants to move back to the city and work as a musician but Megan refuses to consider this as she disliked the uncertainty of the income and the lifestyle.
Keith and Sophie’s love affair evolved until they are planning to run away together.
They plan to meet in New York City after one of Keith’s symphony performances.
Just as they want to leave, with all their bags packed, Keith gets a sms from Megan, saying Lauren was in a car crash.
This is a movie where the man in the affair, the more mature one, has to choose between his new love and anticipation of freedom and his family.
It is an intense and captivating drama about how lives can be changed with one new person in their lives.
