Eddie, an overworked adjunct professor/barista, mentors young working-class men, teaching them to rationally untangle the riddles of their ingrained misogyny. But, as a Tiresias-like aging colleague points out to him, he is woefully blind to the chaos of sadness and disappointment at the root of his students’ lives – and his own. When Eddie’s newborn son refuses to sleep, his dreams and waking life blur, and his repressed grievances become grand literary ambitions.
