When six twentysomethings get together for their annual reunion at an idyllic summerhouse in the Westchester suburbs of New York City, secrets are unexpectedly revealed. Through a series of emotional meltdowns, each young adult is forced to reexamine their relationships and themselves. Playing with Darwinian themes, this comedy explores the darker side of growing up.
