Plot

Three years after they started dating, Hallie and Owen reunite with their respective friends Willa and Matt at a house party in Malibu. That night, Hallie and Owen have a minor argument during the July the 4th fireworks but reconcile upon going home. Unbeknownst to Matt, Willa has a secret relationship with a man named Jakob via text. Willa then moves into Matt's house and they have sex. The relationship between Hallie and Owen begins to deteriorate and she leaves his house.

Hallie meets Dexter, who has recently been dumped by his girlfriend, at a photo-shoot. He invites her to get a drink. Owen unexpectedly shows up at the bar and mocks Dexter's TV show. Hallie then invites Dexter to her house and they reluctantly have sex. Owen calls Matt, ranting about Hallie's new relationship with Dexter. At the photo exhibit, Hallie meets photo-assistant Lindsay and, in the swimming pool, they share a kiss in front of Willa and Matt, who leave the pool in shock upon seeing the two girls together. They decide not to tell Owen about Hallie's same-sex relationship.

Matt reads Jakob's text messages on Willa's phone. Heartbroken, Matt confronts her, but reluctantly stays at Willa's side. The next morning, Owen unexpectedly meets up with Hallie at his house and they have sex. Hallie later realizes that it was a mistake and finally reveals her relationship with Lindsay via text message.

Hallie visits Owen at his house and they argue about Owen's not taking their relationship seriously. Willa sleeps with Matt for the last time, before finally leaving to meet Jakob. Sometime later, hoping to get Hallie back, Owen cleans his house and fixes the closet. Hallie arrives at his house and Owen pleads with Hallie to move in with him. She refuses, finally telling him that she will never go back with him. The film then jumps back three years and ends showing the birth of the relationship between two couples.
