Time to Leave

Tom Rode’s mother lies dying in a hospital. As he tries to keep her spirits up, Tom, an editor at a classical music website, sees his own life speeding off in the wrong direction. Evan Stone has moved into Tom’s old position as director of the editorial team, while Tom has been forced to make a “lateral move” that feels suspiciously like a demotion. His wife offers moral support at home, and at work he finds growing comfort in the company of his young protégée Kim—until their friendship leads to a visit to human resources.
