Vera lives on a beautiful old farm near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. However, a successful job and her pursuit of personal harmony are not enough to placate the restlessness that's been haunting her. Nor can she fully unravel herself from the ramifications of her parents' divorce that took place over a decade ago. As she wrestles internally with both conventional culture and a dead-end relationship with her boyfriend, Vera finds herself suddenly enmeshed in the complicated problems of those around her. Following a trip to New York City, a mysterious neighbor moves in and brings the melodrama in Vera's life to a head. Against a backdrop of pastoral fields and rural idyll, Vera's search is an intensely personal one for both beauty and truth.
