Director Neil Labute continues observing and listening to the human condition. After the controversial In the Company of Men, he reveals the obscure side and even more obscure humor that is part of the relationships of the high urban class today. Three women and three men are engaged in intricate maneuvers towards sexual dissimulation and self-sacrifice. Jerry, a professor of theater embarks on an affair with Mary, the wife of his best friend. Married to Terri, he does not perceive that his frequent escapades eventually lead his wife to the arms of beautiful Cheri.

     Meanwhile, Barry, Mary's husband tries his hardest to get her to have some pleasure, even going so far as to listen to the advice of his friend Cary, a male chauvinist of no character who spends every night with a different woman. Many times he winds up alone simulating possible sex encounters on a tape recorder to show friends.
