It's time for a major mid-term crisis in this darkly humorous and thoughtful comedy.  Professor Charlie Thurber loves to teach but can't stand all the expected publishing and politicking that goes along with the position.  So when his opportunity for tenure is announced, he goes out on a limb to prove his worth, but unexpectedly finds himself falling for the very person who might replace him.  It's a battle of the brains where the stakes are high and only one person can get an 'A' for effort.
