Barry Schwartz has everything: two healthy young children, a strong marriage, a house in the Colorado mountains, and a job that lets him ski a hundred days in a good year. But at 30, still paying off student loans and struggling to make the rent, he beings to think it isn't enough.

The story explores what Barry and his family do to discover what "is enough." The American dream is painfully reorganized for this family. Will it bring unspeaking loss?
