Sensitive Skin

Davina and Al settle into their modern, spacious downtown loft. Their new life proves to be as uncomfortable as the formless, meta-couch that is their sole piece of furniture.

Davina and Al are both reminded of their pasts by chance encounters with old friends. As Al struggles to assert himself, Davina has a disturbing visit with her comatose mother.

Davina meets Robert Ringwald, a handsome and successful columnist, and the person Al longs to be. While he attempts to seduce Davina, Ringwald keeps Al busy by making him a jury member on a book prize. Davina is tempted by this wealthy sophisticated man of the world, but at the last moment it is Dr. Cass who makes her see that Robert Ringwald is just as human and fearful as Al.

A leather clad piano teacher and amateur archeologist enters their lives. While Al practices his scales, Davina accepts Greg's invitation to peruse his discoveries.

Davina's mother dies, and Roger is reborn. Al gets high and questions Davina's loyalty.

Al gets some disturbing news from Dr. Cass. It gets worse when he discovers that his car has been broken into, and that Davina is having an affair with Greg. Davina leaves Al and moves in with her in-laws, much to the chagrin of Veronica. Roger has a spectacular art opening, Davina has a complex delusion that seems to support her decision to change her life, and Al has a near fatal heart attack. In the end, Davina regrets her choice, but is it too late?
