After finding out their best friends have secretly ended their five year long relationship, two friends turned lovers attempt to hide their new found romance during their college reunion trip to the mountains.
Penny and Jacob met in college and became instant friends. Their worlds intertwine over the years and both of their roommates (Harper and Eddie) find themselves in a romantic relationship. Five years later, the four and another friend (Adam) plan a reunion weekend in the mountains. On the drive there, Penny and Jacob finally admit the feelings they’ve been harboring for each other over the years only to find that they have to keep their newfound relationship to themselves to spare the feelings of Harper and Eddie, who’s own relationship is falling apart. The weekend is full of reunions and awkward encounters as both couples attempt to keep their true feelings under wraps.
