New York in the 1950s. A man on a barstool is telling a story about a woman he met in a bar, early married and soon divorced, her child farmed out to her parents, good-looking, if a little past her prime. They d gone out, they d grown close, but as far as he was concerned it didn t add up to much. He was a busy man. Then one day, out dancing, she runs into a rich awkward lovelorn businessman. He ll pay for her to be his, pay her a lot. And now the narrator discovers that he is as much in love with her as she is with him, perhaps more, though it will take him a while to realize just how utterly lost he is. Executed with the cool smoky brilliance of a classic Miles Davis track, 'In Love' is an unequaled exploration of the tethered and untethered heart. '
