Jake & Kevin--longtime friends since college--reunited after 16 years apart--- become  unexpected newfound neighbors where Kevin and his wife Daliah live in a bucolic upper-crust gated community within the suburbs of Burlington, Vermont.

   Jake and his family's relocation presents Kevin with reminders of his reckless frat-boy days, sexual exploits and Jake specifically who had known all of Kevin's secrets; including those Jake took part in burying for Kevin...and each other.

   The unlooked-for reunion reveals how both men lived double-lives unbeknownst to their wives Kiernan and Daliah and Jake's two children, Summer and Chase. 

   Jake and Kiernan's marriage in Vermont spirals quickly--their "gilded cage of a marriage" from a "Theory of Mind" perch--flashbacks from 10 years ago and back again to present-day, depicts spousal and child abuse, missing persons reports, and why Jake sits confined in a Vermont state prison.

    The truth herefrom amid the lies reveals "blood isn't always thicker than water" when one loves someone else beyond one's control, or despite being liars.
