Louis and Jack were best childhood friends, but their present-day relationship is challenged by Louis’ new friendships and family priorities, which collide with Jack’s loud and aggressive behavior.
The growing rift between them becomes unavoidable when Jack unexpectedly meets Louis’ new friend, Andrew, and Jack realizes that their plans don’t include him. Refusing to accept his exclusion, Jack forces himself into Louis and Andrew’s lives for the day, derailing their plans and needling their friendship.
Louis is surprised by Jack’s blatant jealousy of Andrew and his frustration boils over when Jack tells Andrew a dark secret about their childhood.
