Rush has it all figured out...his dream job, his dream girl, his whole life in focus. But an unexpected disclosure shatters this perfect world, driving him to find the truth about life and love in the company of a gay co-worker.

SYNOPSIS:

RUSH KEMPER. Twenty-six years old. Lives in a cool little apartment just outside downtown Montreal with his beautiful “love of his life, she’s the one” girlfriend for the past five years. He makes her breakfast every morning and dinner every night…that is the nights that she is home.

Rush works as a software engineer at a nearby gaming development company. He’s very good at it, allowing him to maintain the 9to5-MtoF work week that would carry him to his retirement in forty years. JULIA UPTON, his girlfriend, has only just finished her law degree and is deep in the eighty-hour a week nightmare of articling that she can soon pass the bar and work even harder as a newly-minted lawyer. She’s been at it for almost eight years, and she’s been looking for some relief, some fun.

One morning, Rush wakes up to the familiar sounds and sensations of Julia. However, a spontaneous declaration of his love for her (in the form of a written note), turns against him, causing him to question who the Fox is in her calendar and why the Friday nights and the Sunday afternoons are now granted to him. He can’t believe it possible of course, because as his long-time best-friend co-worker, George, says…”Rush. That girl is in love with you.”

Things at work have also shifted. George has been tasked to head the Beta testing of the company’s latest triple-A game and Rush is now officemates with a temporary contractor who comes in when he feels like it, takes long lunches, and adds colourful chaos to the other side of his desk. JOHNATHON. Independent to the core, he answers to no one but himself, seeking out the infinite possibilities of life.

As Rush and Julia move further and further apart in their relationship, Rush and Johnathon move closer in theirs. It’s Johnathon that gets Rush to participate in a weekend coding jam marathon…along with George and Carter (another co-worker). The ground under Rush’s feet is shifting fast and his forty-year future is getting harder and harder to see.

The final crash of he and Julia’s relationship has Rush seek comfort in the only constancy that he has left, Johnathon.

It’s a loving and supportive relationship, but one that is doomed to fail (because Rush is not gay). Rush’s dependency will not survive Johnathon’s independent spirit…Rush deserves “a beautiful woman, beautiful kids, a beautiful life.” That life does not exist with Johnathon.

But what of love?

It’s only through infinite possibilities of Rush’s love for Johnathon and for Julia that he can find his path through the unknowns and no longer fear the dead ends of his broken relationship and expected endings.
