In a small Pennsylvania town, Robert Forrester is recuperating from a nasty divorce and a bout of psychological trouble. One evening, while driving home, he sees a pretty young woman framed by her bright kitchen window, a picture of happy domesticity that brings him peace. Soon, Robert can't keep himself away. But when he is inevitably discovered, obsession is turned on its head, and Robert finds himself unable to shake the young woman, nor entirely sure whether he should.
