In the film
Starting Out the Evening, an aging New York author tries to finish one more novel before he dies. Enter an ambitious grad student, who wants to write her master's thesis on the old man's career in an attempt to revive him from near obscurity. Reluctant at first, the scribe eventually agrees to the project, only to find the coed has more than an academic interest in him. Meanwhile, his 40-year-old daughter reconnects with an ex-boyfriend, who was never really liked by her dad in the first place. The author's suddenly complicated life makes him realize it's never too late for a fresh start.
