Two 30-something best friends, away from home in North America, find themselves in a complex circumstance when one’s marriage to a woman starts to become a conflict. There’s a deep bond, there’s friendship, and there’s intimacy. In this battle between conventions and exploring one’s sexuality, who will win?
