This episodic drama embraces the lives of four unlikely heroes - three men and one woman - each consumed in a personal struggle to make sense of their lives. Karen tries to create some excitement in her frustrated married existence by going on shopping sprees and breaking taboos. Bill has never been able to interact safely with the world around him - he prefers to exist in a lackluster state of self-imposed exile, a world where his dreams proffer a different sense of self. Frozen in a moment in time, Travis is able to reach to others but not within since he bears the guilt for a terrible tragedy which has scarred him forever. Gary is also desperate to make a connection - he strives to bridge the gaps and find what is lost. In one defining moment he makes a startling and irreversible decision which irrevocably changes everything.

Director Ryan Eslinger will be in attendance for Q and A. Ryan was accepted into the 2004 Sundance Screenwriters Lab, the 2005 Sundance Directors Lab, and the 2005 Cannes Film Festival program L'Atelier.
