It's been a year since Evvy's older husband, Jimmy, died. Now, her watchful neighbors in a small lakeside resort community are urging her to move on. Suddenly, a disoriented, oddly alluring young man appears at her door claiming he's her husband. Much to the bewilderment of her skeptical friends, a mysterious bond begins to form between them. A wise, wry and truly original new work by one of the most exicting young voices in the American theater.
