When forty-five year-old banker, James O'Brien, loses the only job he has ever had, he discovers a number of harsh facts: His age and educational limitations reduce his value in a tough job market; he has lost the esteem of Clare, his wife; unemployment compensation is an inadequate and finite resource; and, the only thing genuinely important to him is the love of his children. His fifteen-year-old daughter, Amanda, is exquisite, but her beauty conceals the mentality of a five-year-old. Her brother, Chad, is a bright twelve-year-old. As Jim's life spirals out of control he struggles with new moral choices and learns the meaning of "quiet desperation."
