Barry Egan è un direttore in una compagnia di prodotti innovativi per il bagno e vive con le sue sette sorelle le quali, soffocandolo d’affetto, gli hanno reso impossibile d’innamorarsi. In Barry c’è una vena oscura di odio e di cattiveria e, nonostante possa sembrare mitemente piacevole da fuori, all’interno è sempre sul punto di andare su tutte le furie. Ma quando incontra Lena Leonard, la dolce e intensa ma misteriosa donna che gli chiede di prendersi cura della sua macchina, inizierà un viaggio nell’amore.
