In the morning after a one-night stand, New Yorkers John (Dustin Hoffman) and Mary (Mia Farrow) piece together the night's events, from meeting at a singles bar to arriving back at John's apartment. Spending the day together, the two singles become better acquainted and try to figure out if their encounter will lead to anything serious. During their conversations, both are reminded of previous failed relationships and the emotional baggage they need to overcome.
