From the organizer:
A year-end birthday dinner reunites a group of close friends who have not met in some time. All in their late twenties to early thirties, they find themselves navigating life’s major transitions: some face the uncertainty of impending marriage; others anticipate the joy of welcoming their first child.
Whatever the case, changes are coming, regardless of whether you are ready or not. And as true beginnings emerge, other things have to come to an end.
As the party ends on a precarious note, each character is thrust into the night to confront the gap between who they have always been and who they might become through unexpected encounters, dormant feelings suddenly awakened, unspoken anxieties, and possibilities never before conceived. Above all, Passion – in all its transformative and contradictory forms – is the one force capable of tearing away the masks we construct for ourselves.
