Smart People

Smart People is the story of Lawrence Wetherhold a widowed, imperiously brilliant, and self-absorbed literature professor who has alienated his son and turned his teenage daughter into an acid-tongued, friendless overachiever.

After a hit to the head he falls for doctor, and former student, Janet, at the same time, his ne’er-do-well brother unexpectedly shows up at his door, low on cash and needing a place to stay. The circumstances cause Laurence to stir from his deep, deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking, consequences for himself and everyone around him.
