Synopsis
Two thirty-something New Yorkers, Matt and Davis, once college room mates, go to Amsterdam to rekindle their friendship and get away from their lives.

But the romance they find in Europe is eventually overshadowed by the truth they discover back home, the consequences of which will alter their lives forever.
