Plot

  • Tagline: There's no room for honesty in a healthy relationship...

After two college students, Sam (Maya Stange) and Thea (Kathleen Robertson), meet Coles (Mark Ruffalo), an animator, at a party, their mutual attraction is immediate. Which soon leads to a passionate and awkward night together. They continue to push the sexual boundaries of their friendship. Soon, however, their friendships are tested by Sam and Coles' romance and Thea's increasing reckless behavior. Inevitably, their relationships dissolves due to fear, resentment and mistrust on all sides. Eight years later they reunite. Cole, now an animator for a high-profile ad agency, lives with his girlfriend of five years Claire. Thea, the former wild-child is happily married to Miles, with whom they share ownership in a very successful and flourishing restaurant. Sam, after working in London, returns to Manhattan after she recently broke off her engagement. Upon reconnecting, the three are drawn back into their old and complicated dynamic. They are soon forced to confront the true meaning of commitment and love, something they avoided as young adults.
