## Description

Malcolm Gephardt, gregarious bartender at the Half Moon in Upstate New York, has always dreamed of owning a bar. When his boss retires, Malcolm seizes his chance. His wife, Jess, has devoted herself to her law career, but after years of unsuccessfully trying for a baby finds herself slipping away from her work and her marriage. When a blizzard hits their town, on the same day that Malcolm learns some shocking news about Jess, and a key patron of the bar disappears, everyone is frozen in place for a single, pivotal week, forcing Malcolm and Jess to confront their uncertain future.
