Twenty-seven-year-old St. Louis advertising executive Max Baron has shut himself off from the world in the two years since the auto accident that killed his wife Janey.

At the party, he discovers that the order is six burgers short and, to the ridicule of his friends, returns to the restaurant to complain.
