A darkly comedic romantic entanglement that mines humor and pathos from messy adult relationships and the gap between who we want to be and who we become.

Determined not to turn into her parents, or be drawn into any relationship longer than a one night stand, Zoe constantly struggles with her failing business and love life. Then she falls in love for the first time with Paul. But there's one problem: Paul is married.
