A magical urban tale about a beautiful psychologist from San Francisco who decides to end a stalled romance with her longtime, high-profile, psychiatrist, boyfriend/business partner. She moves on with her life by opening her own private practice in a vacant, street-front office space in the middle of a small, commercial block located across the bay in Oakland, turning the predominately African-American and psychologically ignored neighborhood on its emotional ear.

When Lauren and Bill’s 14-year-old daughter says she’s going to her first dance with her classmate Ryan, they welcome the news with excitement…and hesitation. Lauren and Bill always assumed their daughter was gay, in the same way that most parents assume their child is straight (until given notice). Suddenly, they worry they have not provided an open environment that allows their daughter to be herself. Lauren and Bill do some introspection on their own parenting and ask, “Are we good parents?”

A hitherto struggling actor and minor celebrity whose treading of the boards for the past twenty years has finally paid off with a lead Hollywood film role. To celebrate he invites seven University friends to a large country house for one extraordinary weekend reunion. Life has been kinder to some than others, and what starts with a veneer of friendly banter and mutual respect soon descends into acrimony and resentment as old rivalries resurface.
