Back in high school, Rem Bruxvoort and his best friend Gene Pawlus were in a punk band. But while The Bubbling Samovars once rocked the Greater Milwaukee DIY scene, and even recorded an album, their fame petered out with adulthood.
Now it's 2021, the pandemic is more or less under control, and while Gene has found his place as a happily married tech entrepreneur, Rem is in the midst of a midlife crisis and a rough separation with his ex-fiancee. When Gene's dad dies in his retirement home, the two bandmates reconnect. And Gene's sister, Julie, a quiet poet deep in the indecision of midlife as well, moves into her dead father's house and strikes up a close friendship with Rem.
As the story unfolds through these three characters' shifting points of view, another point of view character, known only as "The Man," lurks in his van on the periphery, swearing to enact revenge on Gene for a perceived slight years in the past. While Rem and Julie hit it off over long philosophical meanderings and dissertations on the arts (a classic love story), "The Man'' interjects the tension of a thriller into the quiet town of Palmera Cay.
