Spoilers ahead
Four couples come together for their usual brunch, but what was once a cheerful gathering has become a tense and awkward affair. Among the group is Glenn, who is introduced to the others for the first time as he’s on his third date with the notoriously discerning Dr. Tracey, played by America Ferrera. As the brunch unfolds, they await the notoriously late fifth couple, Jenny and Gordon. The gathering soon turns into a chance to reconnect with old friends and learn more about the new guy in their midst. When the men briefly excuse themselves to catch a football game, they find themselves cut off from the outside world: the TV, Internet, and landline phones have all gone down.
