Jeff's ideal relationship, played in black-and-white flashbacks, is that of his grandmother (Mitch Matthews) and her lover (Julie Herbert), two women whose strength and passion for each other keep them alive. The action Jeff seeks in local bars leaves him wanting. Meanwhile, Harry's instant computer dating success, which brings him a serious relationship, serves as an interesting contrast to Jeff's frustrations...
