Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) is an sexually assertive, emotionally guarded young woman living in Toronto who engages in casual, aggressive one-night stands with strangers to avoid emotional intimacy. At a house party, she meets David (Eric Balfour), an equally intense young man, and they immediately begin a passionate physical relationship. As their sexual connection deepens, Leila discovers that David is simultaneously balancing a commitment to his ailing father and maintaining an ongoing cohabiting relationship with his girlfriend, Victoria. When Leila demands exclusivity, David's dual life creates emotional friction, forcing both of them to confront their personal boundaries and capacity for commitment.
