About David and Brenda are perfect for each other, and everyone knows it...except David and Brenda. After their painful break-up, they each endure an individual purgatory (for David, a self-destructive artistic endeavor, and a relationship with an immature beauty who has taken to sleeping with his best friend - for Brenda, a failing acting career, an eviction notice, and a boyfriend who just doesn't do it for her) until chance brings them together at the worst possible time. David invites Brenda to the opening of his first photography exhibit and it sets the stage for a night of drinking, flirting and truth-telling, leading to an untraditional and risky proposal of how they can be together... without getting back together.
