A melodramatic ensemble drama about marriage, infidelity, and friendship that oscillates between comedic banter and emotional confrontation.

Eight married college friends plus one other non-friend (all of whom have achieved middle to upper class economic status) go to Colorado for their annual week-long reunion, but the mood shifts when one couple's infidelity comes to light. As secrets are revealed, each couple begins to question their own relationship.
