Seven interconnected stories orbit a central novella to create a collection of tales which resonate with the sound of women's voices. A widower struggles to erase his wife's voice from his answering machine. Two old friends meet after a period apart and find they can no longer fit into their habitual rhythm. A woman records herself reading a poem for two sisters who obsessively collect voice recordings.
