Arrangement
for Two Violas tells the story of Peter Chase, a country doctor who
devotes himself only to his patients in a small Wisconsin town in 1938. Single
and without family, he cherishes his many close friendships, especially that
of Nan and Karl Schuler, publishers of the local newspaper. 
Karl is stricken both with emphysema and a tendency to speak out on controversial
social topics that alienate the town's more conservative population. When
Karl's longtime emphysema brings Peter into contact with Henry Meegan, a nationally-known
specialist in Milwaukee, Peter discovers love for the first time. Henry is
not only the charismatic director of his own medical institution; he is, like
Peter, an avid amateur violist. The Schulers come under attack when Karl writes
openly about birth control; at the same time, Peter and Henry conduct a passionate
affair in secret.
When the two men's intimacy is accidentally revealed, the consequences are
immense, exacting an emotional price that challenges the loyalties of all
four people.
