Holden considers himself the incarnation of J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield, suggesting he has a troubled past and feels disillusioned with society. Despite being married to her high school sweetheart and having a seemingly stable life, Stephanie finds herself drawn to Holden's charisma and the excitement he brings into her life.
