Mindy, a young single woman living in New York City, meets Fred and invites him back to her place for a spontaneous evening.

When Fred goes to the bathroom and returns to find a full, used condom in the trash, guilt about his existing girlfriend surfaces and he begins to contemplate leaving. Mindy hints that her roommate’s boyfriend might be visiting, and what starts as a casual hookup spirals into a night of intense, impulsive sex.
