This movie is a four-character improvisation study about the romantic entanglements among the disparate occupants and visitors to a borrowed New York City apartment. Jonathan forgot that he had invited a girlfriend over. They met recently and have been seeing one another but he forgot about it as soon as he met Savannah. She was going to come over to the apartment in the afternoon as he originally thought it was going to be his for a few days (borrowing from a friend's) but due to conflicts and misunderstandings, Savannah and David (who owned the apartment) were occupied as well. Isabel shows up and they hang out until David throws them out after a heated discussion.
Four actors, an off-screen narrator, and a director put together an improvisation. Savannah arrives in New York, having arranged to stay in the empty apartment of Michael, an acquaintance. His days mixed up, Michael has also told Jonathan he can stay. Jonathan arrives, finds Savannah attractive, and starts talking. Savannah is intrigued, but also, in the back of her mind, recalls something she's heard about Jonathan. As Jonathan and Savannah start to connect, Michael returns, doesn't like what he sees, and male rivalry heats up, exacerbated by the arrival of a fourth person. Can Savannah and Jonathan return to their budding attraction?
