Dr. Bock's (Scott) life is in shambles. His wife has left him, his children don't talk to him and his once beloved teaching hospital is falling apart. As he teeters on the brink of a nervous breakdown, Brock falls for a patient's seductively charming daughter (Diana Rigg) who not only gives him something to live for but might even change his life forever.
