George is a professor at the local City College and he is living the nightmare of getting old and losing his sexuality. He also is a long time marijuana smoker who hides his habit from his family. Andrea has completely immersed herself in her daughter's grammar school play as the costume advisor.
Right in the middle of George eginning to have his first nervous breakdown
they have a visit from Sanjay, a poor East Indian boy who George and Andrea have supported since he was six years old through an International Foundation called, Save The children.

to this new relation with Sanjay who is now an adult. George's drug problems and his sexual problems are all heightened with Sanjay staying in the house. Eventually Sanjay convinces George to teach him how to drive and then Sanjay takes the family

all of his drug hiding places and admitting that she has known for years about his secret. The car incident also explodes George and Andr�a's sexual problems into the real world
