Five women faced with monumental life choices prepare to make the decisions that will resonate through the rest of their lives in director Tony Hickman's reflective drama. Sara is a photographer whose artistic eye has helped her to launch a successful career as a professional photographer. But these days Sara is inundated with commercial work, and photography has become just another job. Though her best friend challenges Sara to get back to her roots, it begins to appear as if he has ulterior motives. Meanwhile, Amy is still reeling from a life-changing loss when her father gets her to throw a party, and struggling actress Katie is attempting to decide whether to end her relationship with a more successful albeit less stable actor in order to keep her career on track. Later, introverted psychologist Beth begins to open up in ways she never thought possible while attending a party thrown by one of her patients.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Larisa Oleynik, beloved from 'The Secret World of Alex Mack,' took this against-type indie role deliberately to age out of teen stardom.
This 2008 micro-budget drama exemplifies the 'mumblecore' movement's influence on more polished indie films about white urban millennials in crisis.
