Thatcher, a self-fashioned ladies man, takes a wrong step one morning and is killed in an accident. When his estranged mother Helen arrives to clean out his apartment, she discovers a secret that will profoundly influence her life, the lives around her, and ultimately a new understanding of her son. Helen takes it upon herself to visit the laundry list of Thatcher's ex-lovers to find out more about his hidden past. She meets a beautiful young woman with a grace to rival Helen's own, a spunky sex shop worker, and an art curator scorned by Thatcher's unrequited love. As Helen hears the women's stories of loss and betrayal, triumph and ecstasy, love and heartache, she finds herself unexpectedly closer to her son than ever before. When she unearths a series of unsent passionate letters amongst Thatcher's belongings, Helen must find the courage to face the love of Thatcher's life and finally close the rift between mother and son.
