But instead of being taken to his usual suite, he is led to an attic room with a window the size of a chessboard. Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely. While Russia undergoes decades of tumultuous upheaval, the Count, stripped of the trappings that defined his life, is forced to question what makes us who we are. And with the assistance of a glamorous actress, a cantankerous chef and a very serious child, Rostov unexpectedly discovers a new understanding of both pleasure and purpose.

Ernest Lash, młody psychoanalityk z San Francisco, wierzy w skuteczność swojej pracy, ale jednocześnie jest przekonany, że klasyczne terapie pilnie potrzebują odnowy. Pewnego dnia komisja etyczna jego dziedziny zleca mu zbadanie kontrowersyjnego przypadku: ma ocenić metody pracy starszego, bardzo znanego kolegi, Seymoura Trottera, oskarżonego o nawiązanie relacji z pacjentką, która jest o czterdzieści lat młodsza. Trotter twierdzi, że seks był jedynym sposobem, aby uratować młodą kobietę przed jej autodestrukcyjnym zachowaniem. Początkowo Ernest jest oburzony, jednak im bardziej zagłębia się w sprawę, tym bardziej fascynuje go idea dostosowywania terapii do indywidualnych potrzeb pacjentów.
