Sybil's Unrest Sybil is stuck in her bourgeois, mopey rut with a horrible husband, Frank. Her current reading material, Jane Austen's Emma, is offering some guidance-or is it?

The Occidental David has taken to drinking and brooding in the company of his only friend. Is Frank a friend? Arrangements are made to travel overseas, but he retreats to an odd city hotel instead.

The protagonists cross each other's paths over one tragic, crazy, ultimately redemptive day.
