Plot

In New York City, young schoolteacher Annie tells her musician boyfriend Stan that she wants to take a break. Meanwhile, Marcus and Aaron are two young men who have been in a committed relationship for six years, and decide to try an open relationship. Both Stan and Annie end up experimenting with same-sex encounters, with the former meeting Marcus online and hooking up; eventually Aaron walks in on them and becomes increasingly hurt and insecure as he discovers that Marcus is falling for Stan. After Annie goes on a blind date with an older man, she eventually gets together with fellow schoolteacher Mandy, who has been her confidante. After some soul searching and several explosive encounters, Stan and Annie return to each other, as do Marcus and Aaron, while Mandy meets a new partner.

Cast
gollark: I just use the AOSP keyboard and overmuch predictive text for my phone typing needs, or an actual keyboard for anything typey.
gollark: WHY
gollark: There really is a Wordart, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Wordart is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Wordart is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Wordart added, or GNU/Wordart. All the so-called Wordart distributions are really distributions of GNU/Wordart!
gollark: Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Wordart, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Wordart, is in fact, GNU/Wordart, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wordart. Wordart is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
