Plunge

The three gather, along with Val's husband, Harris, at a country house in Connecticut for a weekend of escape and reminiscence. But this awkward reunion is interrupted by the lovestruck Jim, an office temp with whom Clare had a brief affair

Heedless of the circumstances, Jim proves to be the catalyst that pulls apart these delicately maintained relationships. As the friends' betrayals are revealed and the misbegotten weekend hurtles toward its tragicomic conclusion, a candid snapshot of a generation comes into focus

Sharp and witty in its observations, Plunge dives through its comic surface to find the melancholy beneath
