The Sound of Loneliness

Stan Pearson, a successful, wealthy stock broker, recently divorced from an unfaithful wife, suddenly leaves his position with a top national firm to engage in a period of introspection. His three adult children, a son and two daughters, one of whom is expecting his first grandchild, stay close as their father searches for answers to life's problems and challenges. His former college roommate, the dean of students at an elite Virginia University, offers him a position teaching business to students in their MBA program. He accepts the challenge. A lovely young graduate student and fellow faculty member, who taught high school for several years and is working on her doctorate, offers Stan advice, and the two become friends and eventually lovers. When the company he left offers him a top position, he struggles to decide whether to accept it, wondering whether the young woman he loves will join him at the head of a large company in the center of New York's financial district. Their love is tested to the limits.
