As the threat of nuclear extinction filters through the streets of New York, two men find themselves in an underground observatory wondering what they could have done different with their lives. If only they had one more chance to make things better.

They get the chance.

How do you know when it’s time to call it quits? How can distance bring a perfect relationship to a crashing end? When mediocre painter Ben Schaffer takes the train to meet his academic activist girlfriend at a motel in Philly — he finds that things have changed. As old tiffs quickly turn into political and philosophical wounds — Ben and Lucille must confront the inevitable decay in their relationship, and the possibility of making a clean start.
