Two great friends. Since grammar school. Sure, sometimes they can’t stand each other, but they’ve always been two great friends. Enter one more (a female one), and everything changes. And changes. This contemporary look at friendship, loyalty and love is at once funny and painful, as characters make their case to the audience and try to justify their actions in a scenario where everyone - and no one - bears the blame.
