Spoilers ahead
As Dr. Peter Newmans, a celebrated sex therapist in his early thirties, delves into the intricate world of human intimacy through his best-selling book, he finds himself in a curious contradiction: despite his mastery in the field, he is emotionally detached and physically indifferent towards the notion of romance. The ever-observant Michelle is the one to notice this paradox unfold, especially as her own life takes a turn after she ends a demanding relationship with her work-focused partner. Peter’s life takes another unexpected twist when he grapples with persistent migraines, which culminate in a serious incident—a debilitating groin injury that forces him to confront his own vulnerabilities on the court.
