The story

Macon Leary is a Baltimore writer of travel guides that detail how reluctant business travelers can best avoid unpleasantness and difficulty. His marriage to his wife Sarah is disintegrating in the aftermath of the tragic death of their 12-year-old son, Ethan. Macon is leveraging the philosophy he espouses in his travel guides to keep control of himself, his grief, and his life, and this excessive control is becoming increasingly dysfunctional.
