What it’s about. Professor Lawrence Wetherhold verbirgt seine Depressionen nach dem Tod seiner Frau gekonnt hinter einer Fassade aus Arroganz und Zynismus, unter der vor allem seine Studenten zu leiden haben. Erst ein Unfall oder besser die damit verbundene Aufmerksamkeit der attraktiven Ärztin Janet reißen Lawrence aus seiner Lethargie. Seine hochintelligente Tochter Vanessa, ein introvertierter Teenager ohne soziale Bindungen, beäugt die sich anbahnende Romanze allerdings mit unverhohlener Skepsis. Als auch noch Lawrences höchst unkonventioneller Adoptivbruder aufgrund akuter Geldsorgen bei den Weatherholds einzieht, geraten die Familienverhältnisse völlig aus den Fugen.
