 Imogen and Al meet at college in New York City when she s a frosh and he s a sophomore. She s a talented artist; he wants to be a chef, following in his father s footsteps. They fall in love, she picks a song for them, they make love. But she fears losing her youth, committing too soon, having a child before she s ready. He s worried that this may be an illusion, not true love. She sleeps with someone else; he s hurt; the relationship ruptures. She leaves for San Francisco; he goes into an alcohol-assisted depression. He even drinks her shampoo, hoping to cure his obsession. Can anything help him recover?
