“Sometimes students make the best teachers.”

Jesse Fisher (Josh Radnor) is 35, newly single, and bored by a job that no longer holds him, so he keeps a book open wherever he goes. When his favorite college professor, Peter Hoberg (Richard Jenkins), asks him back to campus for a retirement dinner, he says yes at once. Josh Radnor writes and directs, and Jesse meets Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a 19-year-old student, and stands in the college's quad with a book under his arm.
