Daniel had worked too long as an engineer for Peterson Plastics in Chicago. He always felt there was a lack of personal connections for him at his job. He felt lonely and out of place there. After his younger brother dies in a car accident, he is reminded that life is short. He begins a path of contemplation to find what would satisfy his want for intimacy in his work and in his life. After a good bit of reflection and testing the waters, he decides to become a licensed massage therapist. A job where he touches people with his hands, and at times with his words. A mutual experience for him and his clients.
The day he quits his job, his wife, Gloria, moves back in with her parents to wait out his midlife crisis. They have had a platonic marriage from the start. He married her because he was lonely. She married him for security, which she now no longer has.
He gets hired at an exclusive spa resort where he massages people from all walks of life. Some of the female clients flirt with him, and he struggles to keep a professional distance. He falls in love with one of the female employees, Julia. She is hesitant to let herself become more than a friend, hesitant to be entwined in a romantic relationship with him because he is still married.
This is the story of people who shed their pretences and their clothing, putting their trust in a male massage therapist. People who have come to Angelo’s Spa Resort to be pampered, cared for, and sometimes for something more.
