When, over drinks, his new neighbor asks how he acquired a signed copy of Jimmy Carter's memoir, Roman's explanation begins not with his father, to whom the book is inscribed, but with Annie Moon, the young musician he met two decades before while stranded by a blizzard in a small Canadian town. Transfixed by her beauty and natural talent, Roman's pursuit of the Korean violinist quickly turns into obsession―first his own, and then his father's for the same woman. An elegant meditation on love, sex, and the complex relationships between fathers and sons, A Thing You'll Never Do is a poignant examination of modern masculinity.
