Sky and Nani are best friends, both nursing heartbreak from loving people who don't love them back. One night, after one of them has too many drinks and too much pain, they fall into bed together. It's not about love--it's about drowning out the ache, about pretending, just for a little while, that they are wanted. Then it happens again, and again. And what's the excuse this time? They won't say. Until it becomes a habitual distraction, and suddenly, excuses become trivial. But how long will it take for one of them to fall in love with the other and forget about the person they were supposed to love?
