Abe is a 30-something who lives with his parents, works for his father, and collects toys. When he isn't playing backgammon with his mother, he's trying to romance Miranda, a 30-something who has moved back in with her parents after her literary/academic career crashed. Out of desperation, Miranda reluctantly agrees to marry Abe, and the two begin to plan their life together. But, just when it looks like things are starting to go right for Abe, everything goes horribly wrong.
