Montana Winfield seems to have everything -- charisma, fame and a chair in Dickens at a fine university. But he is so driven by it all, that the wife he adores leaves him. 

When a stranger knocks on the door late that night with a lost Dickens manuscript, she brings with it a secret about herself. Reading the Dickens story and talking with the young woman changes Montana forever. The Montana story alternates with scenes from the Dickens novel (invented by the playwright).
