Adam and Marklin are in a 5-year relationship when the passion for each other starts to dim, forcing them to face each other's shortcomings while also watching their close group of friends' love lives crumble around them. Their best friend Cammy's latest fling is everything she's looking for in a man, until she finds out that he's homeless and she's unsure if he's seeing her because of her or to have a place to crash. Haley is a teacher and is helping one of her students with the SAT's when he confesses his feeling for her. Then their friends Elizabeth and Damon have been married happily for 15 years when it's not so happy anymore.[1]
