Puzzle

Agnes has spent years looking after her husband and children in a small town near New York, her own needs coming last. When she receives a jigsaw puzzle as a birthday gift, she discovers an unexpected gift for solving them, and the hobby opens a world beyond her household routine. Her skill leads her toward a puzzle tournament in Atlantic City, and through a newspaper advertisement she meets Robert, a fellow enthusiast.
