Description
John Schram, reporter for the Lancaster Standard Newspaper, husband, and father to two boys, is feeling his age. His paper has hired consultants who seem too young to understand a newsroom and worse yet, have required the installation of low-flow toilets. He’s juggling multiple stories and because of layoffs is now tasked with writing a love advice column. He feels a little left behind and less astute than he should be with new technology.
On the home front, his seventeen-year-old son has lost interest in college, wears one beat up t-shirt and torn jeans exclusively, and hasn’t had a haircut for months. Meanwhile, the wife is looking for a little romance and his fiftieth birthday is coming at him fast and furious. John wonders if he’s lost a step to the young reporters in his office and if he can live up to his own expectations.
