At the Phillies café in Cape Cod, Louise waits for her friend Norman; the night is disrupted by Stephen, her ex-partner, returning after five years. Between the playwright, the actor and the lawyer, memories and roads not taken surface. The novel starts from «Nighthawks», by Edward Hopper, to imagine the story of those four characters.
