Plot

Howard Brackett is a well-liked English literature teacher, living a quiet life in the fictional town of Greenleaf, Indiana, with his fiancée and fellow teacher Emily Montgomery, who has low self-esteem and recently lost weight for their imminent wedding. Although none the wiser, Howard embodies gay stereotypes such as his love of romantic literature, his fandom of Barbra Streisand, and his chaste three-year relationship with Emily.
