For Johnny “Agile” Walker, middle age presents a host of challenges. He is estranged from his parents, and he is in the process of watching his wife, Beth, lose her fight with cancer. The medical bills have overwhelmed him, and he must sell the family home. His daughter, Jen, hasn’t matured as he had hoped. His job is boring, and he’s suffering from writer’s block for the book he’s penning on the side. For Walker, a gentle man with a generous demeanor, it is an emotionally destructive time. But, Walker finds a bright spot when he meets Zinny Jones, who has advertised a room for rent. Taking care of her aging and senile father, Zinny needs the extra income. She’s hoping to satisfy her ex-husband’s demand for money; Mark, her ex, wants her to sell the house and give him part of the proceeds. Walker moves into the room and begins to get to know Zinny a bit better. Together, Walker and Zinny jump the hurdles and challenges that middle age throws at them in order to gain some satisfaction and joy out of lives that haven’t quite met their expectations.
