Lonely, and drawn to Michael for his proactive view of life, as he's enthused about the success his book is having, his college-aged daughter Molly (Megan Charpentier) is coming home soon. Phil coincides with him and his family in a local restaurant. Afterwards he follows them home. One day, after Michael warmly kisses his wife, Phil follows him in his car. After he parks along a quiet country road, he walks into the woods. Phil follows, but to his shock he finds Michael hanging by his neck. Shaken up, he takes the shoes Michael had weirdly taken off beforehand. After the funeral, Phil goes to the grave distraught, drunk, and falls asleep on the mound amidst a heavy rainstorm. The next morning, Michael's wife Alicia (Emily Mortimer) finds him there, soaked to the skin. As she calls 911, he tells her his name is 'Spyros,' which causes her to believe he's his old friend from Greece. Alicia takes 'Spyros' home to get warmed up. She tells him about a bathroom project Michael had left unfinished, and without thinking, he volunteers to help. Meanwhile, his dentist receptionist leaves him a string of frantic messages, which are left unanswered. Michael's father-in-law (Robert Forster) comes by and doesn't realize Phil's not the real Spyros. In town, Phil runs into his brother Malcolm (Jay Duplass), and explains he will later explain what's going on. After many, many attempts, he figures out his computer password. Seeing pictures of Michael with Samantha (Taylor Schilling) on the computer, when Alicia is called in to clear out her husband's university office, Phil offers to tag along.

Police Detective Welling (Luke Wilson) stops by to tell Alicia that they are investigating Michael's suicide, noticing only two anomalies, his missing shoes and a possible stalker, both of which are Phil. That night, she calls 'Spyros' to meet, and talks him into trying to dance with a group of Greeks. Malcolm is there when Phil gets home, and he tries to get him to realize that what Alicia needs is closure. Shortly thereafter 'Styros' presents her with her finished bathroom. Phil is able to apologize to his daughter Mand finally offer her genuine support. Alicia asks 'Styros' to accompany her and her daughter at a university event, and a higher up, who doesn't trust him, tries to out him. Phil skillfully tells the truth about meeting at the dentist's and spying on him without saying it was his own practice in town. Then Samantha shows up, pregnant and wearing half of a set of pendants like Michael had bought. The tiles start falling off as Alicia takes her first shower, and the water pressure goes wacky. Just as 'Spyros' is arriving to help, Detective Welling has arrived to tell her they discovered who had been the 'peeping Tom.' When questioned by the officer, he explained he needed to know why someone who seemed to have a perfect life could end it. Alicia has placed a restraining order on him, he returns to his abandoned office and finds his loyal receptionist quit on him. Alicia confronts him to show him the theory of Michael's affair was wrong as Samantha is a lesbian. Phil again goes to the bridge's edge, accidentally falls in and fights against dying. Malcolm visits him in the hospital and he tells he's no longer depressed. Waking suddenly one night, Phil remembers Michael's shoes. He delivers the note inside to Alicia. We only see the words "sorry" and "my love." We never discover what was on it, but she starts playing the cello again and stops wearing her wedding ring. Phil eventually revamps his dental practice, and improves his relationship with Molly. Alicia shows she's made peace by returning a cap she'd given 'Styros.'
