Gabriel (Timothy Hutton) is a man who on the surface has it all-successful professional life as an architect, a beautiful wife, Annie (Dana Delany), and a devoted young daughter, Elizabeth. But slowly it dawns on him that he is not really happy. Gabriel decides that he wants to write a play about the sorry state of his life. He quits his job, gets a pushy literary agent friend to represent him and starts writing. Although his marriage ends in a divorce, the play is success and although his life is different than it was, he is happier.
