Engaged after 8 magically boring years of dating, Jack and Anna invite their old friend, Harry (Randy Harrison), to Jack’s childhood lake house for one last visit before they move to San Diego for a fresh start. Harry’s sister Bonnie arrives unexpectedly and proceeds to throw a dinner party inviting hometown locals they used to know who never left town. Through an awkward haze of coleslaw, drugs, alcohol, and honesty we see that, even after all these years, none of them know themselves or each other.
