Ed, a bike courier with a hidden past, is ready to embrace this change, hoping to leave behind his secretive encounters and complicated history with Maggie's friend, Phil. Meanwhile, Phil, who drifts through his mundane office job, is on the cusp of a meaningful relationship with his roommate Keith. They reside in a vibrant, illegal warehouse commune, the setting for a party that promises to alter their lives. As the heat intensifies, Maggie, Ed, and Phil must face their intertwined histories, desires, and the boundaries of their futures.
