Romance in D takes place in two side-by-side apartments in present day Chicago. Charles Norton, a musicologist, lives in one apartment alone with his books and music. Isabel Fox, a poet on the verge of divorce, moves into the other and puts her head in the oven in a half-baked suicide attempt.

Isabel's father, George, comes to town and tries to cheer her up. Helen Norton, Charles' mother, encourages Charles to get to know Isabel, but he refuses to get involved. Isabel makes her own effort to befriend Charles and he, try as he may to resist, falls in love. Then one day, when Charles and Isabel are away, Helen and George meet and discover they have their own similar interests.

Will Helen and George fall in love and leave the children to fend for themselves? Will Charles profess his love for Isabel and risk another heartbreak? Will Isabel go back to her husband or put her head back in the oven? All four characters use their knack for music and words as they nervously navigate the path of true love.
