Nine seemingly random characters, all in the midst of a personal crisis. A struggling first-year teacher, his unsatisfied wife, and the little girl who lives with them. A lonely realtor and her lawyer husband, who's involved in a high-profile case. A single mother with an alcohol problem and her two rebellious children. A middle-aged professor looking for a woman to spice up his life. Their lives are seemingly unconnected, but the decisions they make during a tension-filled work week lead to a series of events that interconnects and propels them toward a tragedy that will impact all of their lives-forever.
