Anti-social and depressed philosophy professor Abe Lucas arrives on a small town campus in Rhode Island to teach, his reputation is already known throughout the area as womanizing and alcoholic. Overcome by his inability to change the world to what he sees fit, Abe struggles to find any meaning or joy in life at all. Abe soon meets Jill, a bright student who wants to understand him more and finds him fascinating, While in a diner with Jill one day the two overhear a discussion involving a judge and an unfair court case and all of a sudden Abe believes he has found his purpose in life.
