[edit] Synopsis

Marilyn (Brenda Vaccaro) is a woman who unexpectedly plunged into grief when her otherwise healthy husband is killed by a car backing out of a driveway. She is introduced to the Boynton Beach Bereavement Club by Lois (Dyan Cannon), a talkative and flirtatious decorator who also serves as the club's unofficial social director. Meanwhile, Harry (Joseph Bologna) tutors the newly widowed Jack (Len Cariou) in the related skills of cooking and courtship. Harry considers himself a ladies' man, but his confidence is temporarily shaken when an Internet "dream date" turns out to be a prostitute. Jack eventually re-enters the dating scene, regaining his sexual confidence with the assistance of Sandy (Sally Kellerman). Lois herself begins dating the relatively younger Donald (Michael Nouri).
