Leaving home is hard; coming back is harder. Former best friends Brian and Jack, now estranged, watch their group fracture as adulthood arrives. Jack’s suicide attempt while house‑sitting forces a reunion that draws the old gang together. In this dark, off‑beat comedy they confront crises, fights, love and lies, rediscovering what once bonded them.
