SYNOPSIS:

Zach McCrory and Kate Bingham stand in a sea of boxes in their new apartment. They begin to argue over a seemingly innocuous stapler and to whom it really really belongs. It escalates into a throwing match until their upstairs neighbor Gary introduces himself, surprised that he never knew them and now they are moving out – no, they say, they are moving in – having met just three weeks prior in a cosmically under the table whirlwind connection. The sweet natured and slightly immature Zach works as a barista and/or at Foot Locker, when he can remember, as his restless artistic nature and crazy limbs create sporadic public outbursts resulting in a good healthy firing. Zach is close friends with George, an arrogant and lazy trust fund baby, faux cynic and aspiring filmmaker who wants to get Zach's dramatic new affair on film and invites himself to dinner. Zach acquiesces, confessing he has no idea what the hell is happening to him or why he's with Kate. Meanwhile, the strong and self-inflicting Kate, a steadily employed graphic designer, is complaining to Meghan, her slightly mousy and quirky co-worker/default friend who is slightly in love with Kate, and gets herself invited to dinner at her apartment. Kate approves without knowing why. Also coming to dinner is Gary, the twice divorced neighbor upstairs who may or may not be a casual stalker; musically inspired to play guitar only while Kate and Zach are having sex, Kate invites him over so she can confront him. At this Penultimate Dinner I, Zach and Kate almost breakup and thus setteth the pace for their affair and the rest of the film as they try to figure out how to love each other without a Big Bang around every corner. On the way, we see George's struggle to take filmmaking seriously and his desire to break Meghan, indulging in her one woman punk band and historically-derived fashion line - dubbed Meghanwear - of her Sex Twice and Out curse; the tearfully odd Gary's possibly successful beard driven marriage proposal to Kate, Zach and his imaginary blues musician friend Bricklayer Brown, Zach's 'partial erection unintentional courting' of a cute 9-11 truther, all culminating in Penultimate Dinner II attended by all, including each of Kate and Zach's respective single and very concerned parents, as the froth meets the broth in this anti-romantic romantic dramedy.
