Tom Warner, a bright but somewhat lazy young New York author who has just tasted success with one bestselling book, gives in to his wife's homesick pleading: they move to her native Kansas, close to her parents' home. Soon the big-city individualist finds that his anonymous life is turned upside-down as they spend more time at his in-laws' (her parents, siblings, and others) and obligatory local community events than in their own home or alone, and the old-fashioned social pressure is quite alarming for a Big-Apple free spirit.
