Dancing in Puddles explores the emotional paralysis that strikes many students, especially young men, when theyre in college. Up until college, most teenagers have been brought up with a delusional sense of self, stemming from parents, teachers, and coaches constant praise. Theyve experienced little constructive criticism and have had their lives managed by other people.

Jacob Feldman is a senior at the University of Michigan and is desperately searching for meaning in his life. He delves into religion, science, philosophy, and sexuality in an attempt to make greater sense of the world. Jacobs inability to live a carefree life leads to his taking real risks. His first bold move results in his working as a nude model. Jacob begins to question his relationship with his long-distance girlfriend. Shes his first real love, and Jacob wonders about his lack of experience and need for other women. His best friend, a self-described nihilist, causes Jacob to think about life without her. Following graduation, Jacob moves out to Massachusetts to teach English. Even though the school is less than an hour away from his girlfriends apartment, he refuses to live with her. Jacob soon grows tired of his life in suburbia and heads to San Francisco to meet up with his best friend. It is there that Jacob finds his lifes real meaning.
