This slice of life film is centered around the lives and
relationships of six different people, and how the decisions
they make affect their already volatile situations.
Scott
(Weston Davis) works as a not so successful actor who,
though a bit indecisive, is proud of sticking to his guns
once a decision is made.
Jenny
(Christina Cain) is burned out and, being dissatisfied
with the rut into which her marriage to Scott has fallen,
is searching for something better.
Shannon
(Katie Featherston) is still grieving form the death of
a loved one and her nepenthe-of-choice is sex. She uses
immediate physical gratification as a coping tool with
which to deal with her loss and is currently using Noah
in a sort of "friend +1" relationship.
At
first glance, Noah (Shaun Anthony) seems to be quite the
shallow individual when he declares that it would be his
preference to live the rest of his life in a mushroom-induced
stupor. As the film progresses it is soon learned that,
when separated from the machismo of hanging with the guys,
he is actually quite dissatisfied with living life for
the moment and is hoping for something deeper. He has
developed strong feelings for Shannon, though he is frustrated
by her unwillingness to commit. Noah's seemingly "intrusive"
questioning and attempts at "meaningless" conversation
annoy Shannon who is interested only in non-committal
sex.
Cody (Ferguson Porter) is a self-proclaimed narcissist,
and is arguably the most self absorbed of all the characters
(albeit more honest at times). During his introduction
he admits that one of life's greatest letdowns for him
is that he is good at everything he does. He sees himself
as the next great screenwriter and seems to relish in
informing others of this.
Allan
(Patrick Rieger) is an intern with Fox news and is probably
the most caring and sensitive of all of the characters
despite his lack of backbone. Allan's relationship with
Cody seems to lie somewhere between roommates and lovers.
They seems to view this as an 'open' relationship, but
the reality of the matter is that Cody doesn't seem to
care that much for Allan at all and just strings him along
as 'backup'. Allan, lacks the willpower to leave this
emotionally abusive environment to which he as grown accustomed;
rather he waits eagerly in the wings in hopes that Cody
will change, and finally see that there's more to life
than immediate self gratification.
