Comédia Drama Romance

Mark O'Brien (John Hawkes) é um escritor e poeta que, ainda criança, contraiu poliomielite. Devido à doença ele perdeu os movimentos do corpo, com exceção da cabeça, e precisa passar boa parte do dia dentro de um aparelho apelidado de "pulmão de aço". Mark passa os dias entre o trabalho e as visitas à igreja, onde conversa com o padre Brendan (William H. Macy), seu amigo pessoal. Sentindo-se incompleto por desconhecer o sexo, Mark passa a frequentar uma terapeuta sexual. Ela lhe indica os serviços de Cheryl Cohen Greene (Helen Hunt), uma especialista em exercícios de consciência corporal, que o inicia no sexo.
