Roger is a middle-aged "aisles associate" at a Staples outlet, condemned to restocking paper for the rest of his life, and his young co-worker Bethany has realised she"s facing fifty more years of shelving Post-it notes. Then Bethany discovers Roger"s notebook in the staff room. When she opens it up, she discovers that he"s writing mock diary entries pretending to be her - and weirdly, he"s getting it right. The two workers strike up an unlikely yet touching secret correspondence. As their lives unfold, so too do the characters of Roger"s work-in-progress, the oddly titled Glove Pond, a Cheever-era novella gone horribly, horribly wrong.
