How it feels

A poetry professor in his late forties moves to Los Angeles and finds himself torn between a sharp-tongued woman he has a one-night stand with and her younger half-sister who he develops a deeper connection with. He tries to balance his impulsive nature with the complications of family loyalty and unexpected romance.
