Toby Fleishman discovers an unexpected new world at forty-one. After thirteen years of marriage, he finds himself divorced, dating through apps, and amazed by the attention he receives from confident, intelligent women who don't care about his height. His nights fill with anonymous encounters while his days continue at the hospital where he works as a liver specialist. This routine shatters when his ex-wife disappears without warning. She stops responding to calls and texts, leaving Toby to handle their two children alone while maintaining his medical practice. As he searches for her, Toby wonders if she's having a breakdown or pursuing some kind of spiritual journey. The crisis forces him to examine what really destroyed their marriage. He must confront whether the version of events he's carried all these years tells the whole truth about their relationship's collapse.
