After Ely Cutter sees God's face in the sky, he seeks a new equilibrium. He spars with and romances his wife, Lynne; he dodges and appeases a former lover, Eleanor; and he resists and then yields to Grace, a provocative divorcée. In a series of fiascos, Cutter tries to minimize the damage he causes. He wants the impossible: he wants to please all three women-and himself.
