From a small Massachusetts college, four classmates embark on a journey to New York with dreams, determination, and little else. Struggling financially and adrift in a sea of uncertainty, their camaraderie and aspirations become their sole pillars of support. Among them is Willem, a kind and attractive young man pursuing an acting career; JB, a sharp-witted Brooklyn native with a penchant for both wit and cruelty, aspiring to carve his mark in the art world; Malcolm, an architect grappling with frustration within a prestigious firm; and Jude, a withdrawn, brilliant, and enigmatic figure who becomes the axis around which their lives revolve.

As the years unfold, their bonds deepen, but shadows encroach, painted by the hues of addiction, achievement, and ego. Amidst their individual successes and pitfalls, they each realize that their ultimate trial is Jude himself. In the midst of middle age, Jude stands as a formidable litigator, yet he is also a man progressively shattered, his psyche and body marred by an indescribable childhood trauma. Haunted by the specter of irreparable damage, he grapples with the fear that this ordeal will forever define the course of his existence.
