Riley, a semi-retired, unmarried bureaucrat with too
much time on his hands lives beside new neighbour Cynthia, an assertive
ex-sportswriter with a new-found love of gardening. They meet under unfortunate
circumstances—unfortunate for Riley because he just happens to be helping
himself to a few perennials from Cynthia's backyard when she arrives to
take possession of her new home. Riley would never actually steal anything,
he just takes advantage of opportunities, but it's too late, his reputation
is soiled and in his bumbling way must strive to restore it.
Although both Cynthia and Riley share a passion for gardening,
their competitive natures cause their developing relationship to blossom
and shrivel, as their repressed emotions heat up slowly like a well-made
compost heap.
