Plot

As Harper stands on the precipice of literary fame with his autobiographical novel nearing publication, his life teeters between chaos and harmony. His girlfriend, Robin, yearns for a deeper commitment, while his close friend Lance, a celebrated pro athlete, is about to walk down the aisle, with Harper as his best man. Harper ventures to New York ahead of Robin, immersing himself in the camaraderie of Lance and their mutual friends. Among them is Jordan, his former almost-lover, now a successful media professional with a sneak peek of Harper's intimate revelations in his book. As the men engage in candid conversations about women, their own double standards remain unaddressed. Simultaneously, Jordan's unresolved feelings for Harper resurface, igniting her desire to rekindle their connection, if only for a fleeting moment. However, Harper's real fear lies in Lance discovering a scandalous secret from his book: a vengeful one-night stand between Harper and Lance's soon-to-be wife. In this whirlwind of events, Harper is thrust into a race against time, striving to attain maturity before Lance's fury catches up with him, before Jordan's allure pulls him in, and before he risks losing Robin forever. As the plot unfolds, viewers are left wondering: Can Harper navigate this labyrinth of complex relationships and emerge unscathed?
