Harry (Timothy J. Cox) is a misanthropic French literature professor who is just taking his life one day at a time, getting by with just enough to survive. His ex-wife Amanda (Kirsty Meares) is now married to Harry's best friend, Richard (Jeff Moffitt), an architect. Both seem to put on a positive front that all is well with their marriage, but Amanda has her doubts and Richard has a wandering eye, especially when he meets the free-spirited, innocent, Sophie (Alex Vincent). Sophie has come to the party with her current boyfriend, the older and always grinning real estate broker, David (Ben Prayz).
