Sometimes the mess we find ourselves in is not entirely our own creation. Take Samuel Fischer, a respected physician nearing the end of his career who sells his medical practice. In the negotiations leading up to the sale, he’s promised a position with the clinic for as long as he’d like, but instead, after the papers are signed, he’s abruptly fired, while his wife is promoted to business manager. Sam suspects everything. He’s confused and furious when he confronts his wife. She slams a door on the ugly argument, bolting from the house to go for a bike ride in the rain. And she’s hit by a car. Dr. Fischer, alone and occupied by his feelings of complicity in her death as well as his losses, sinks into a deep depression from which he begins to emerge when he decides to change lives and become a local venture capitalist– a business angel hoping to meet people and create a new identity for himself.
