At forty, John faces a midlife crisis as he becomes a father again to a baby son with his much younger wife. This new chapter brings challenges, including the overwhelming presence of baby gear and the demands of family life, which clash with his self-image and virility. Despite believing that age is merely a state of mind, John finds himself grappling with the realities of adult responsibilities: his job is stressful, his body is changing, and his relationships with his daughters and wife are strained. In an attempt to cope, he becomes infatuated with Sherry Smalls, a children's performer whose own dreams of rock stardom have been derailed by her current gig. As John's obsession with Sherry grows, he finds himself acting out in ways that threaten his career and family life. Meanwhile, Sherry is also seeking an escape from her unsatisfying situation, including her tumultuous relationship with her alcoholic bandmate. Their lives intersect unexpectedly, leading to a pivotal moment that forces both John and Sherry to confront their realities. This encounter may ultimately provide the wake-up call they both need, despite its unforeseen consequences.
