Bram and Alice is a comedy about the shaky relationship
between an incorrigible scoundrel of a novelist and his
devoted fan, who suddenly learn they are father and
daughter. Bram Shepherd is a renowned Pulitzer Prize-
winning author who has coasted on his reputation for years,
but is still required reading on campuses throughout the
country. Alice O'Connor is an idealistic young woman on
the verge of abandoning her dream of becoming a writer
and returning to Vermont when she learns that her idol,
Shepherd, is her father. Their first meeting is a disaster:
Bram inadvertently confesses he never wanted a child and
barely remembers he ever fathered one. Alice perceives
Bram as a fast-talking, hard-drinking woman-chaser, all
of which he is. Nonetheless, they decide to forge a
relationship and Alice agrees to move into Bram's New York
apartment. Also in their world are Paul Newman, a level-
headed assistant who tries to keep Bram on an even keel;
Michael, a former Catholic priest who serves cocktails
along with wry advice in the bar on the ground floor of
Bram's apartment building; and Katie, an eccentric,
self-centered neighbor with a mysterious Japanese
boyfriend. Now that a new page has been turned, Bram
and Alice will have to make some adjustments in order
to write the next chapter in their very different
lives, or, at least, to get along as
father and daughter and roommates.
