CGiii Comment

Stunning.

Open relationships? What exactly are they? Avoidance of heartbreak?

Our only quibble...the last scene was unnecessary. What one man wants...and, the other not prepared to give was so subtly presented...it didn't need anything else.

Stunning nonetheless.

Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Under cover of darkness, two strangers bond over a shared secret. But how well do they really know each other?
