According to crazy Avrum Feldman, everyone has a divine moment that changes the course of life. For Bobo Murphy, it was the moment he fell in love with Amy Loury at a resort in the Catskills in 1955. That summer Bobo also befriended Avrum, a Jewish retiree from New York City. Forty years later,Bobo, now an art teacher in Savannah, returns to the fading resort to settle Avrum's estate. He also finds Amy again.
