Cecilie is a fed-up New York Times reporter. Her husband, Reuben, is a disgraced former NPR host and grudging stay-at-home dad. Neither can wait to flee New York and spend the summer in Copenhagen, Cecilie's hometown. But their vacation begins to turn inside out as soon as they land: Cecilie's first love, Jonas, has been diagnosed with a rare, fatal illness. All of Cecilie's friends are desperate to get him help, that is, except for Mikkel, a high-powered journalist. Reuben discovers in Mikkel a new model of masculinity. Cecilie begins to question who to trust, even herself.
