Facebook and the internet have changed our lives. They offer a glut of information but little personal connection. This is what Edwin Goodeve discovers in the months after his wife's death. Edwin's editor at the Detroit News is running out of patience; he wants a new article. After a chance encounter in the laundry room of his apartment complex, Edwin realizes what the article should be. He decides to interview five neighbors about important moments in their lives, important moments in America.
