A physics professor's life spirals into chaos as he faces marital betrayal, academic corruption, and existential despair while seeking meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe.
It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik, a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith that she is leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous acquaintances Sy Ableman.
