College friends Elizabeth, Zoe and Andrew had a band, grew up, settled in New York, and now they were still living around the corner from one another (and in each other's pockets).

One hot summer, as their kids come of age, taking those first hesitant steps into adulthood, it's the parents who find that the lives they've so carelessly stitched together begin to slowly unravel...
