Heterosexuals

Three couples navigate romance in New York while managing an ever-increasing series of personal hurdles 

Rhonda and Nick, both in their 20’s, are old friends who always share the details of their romantic disasters. It seems they both routinely find themselves in destructive relationships (to put it mildly). Nick hits on the idea of providing each other with a sexual outlet, until they mature enough to pick appropriate partners.   They’re good friends who have always been attracted to one another, so the idea should work, as long as they don’t fall in love. But as deeper feelings seep into their plan, Rhonda and Nick discover a pair of conflicting truths: they’ve always loved each other and they’re both committed to avoiding commitment.

Akey, in his early 30s, is a very romantic guy who just can’t get a date. 

Elia, also in her early 30s, is writing her doctoral thesis on society’s changing attitude toward virginity. It seems she knows a thing or two about the subject; she’s never been able to get date, ever – in her life. But when Nick and Rhonda arrange a meeting, a magical thing happens – Akey and Elia see the beauty in each other that no one else can see.

Larry and Denny, late 30s, have been married ten years. Their love is deep and solid. But when financial strains begin to crack their foundation Larry must fight to resist the attention of a very comely client, named Alexandra. He begins to play a dangerous game of brinksmanship with her affection, accepting as much of her affection as he can, without stepping over the line. But where the heck is the line? It seems to be shifting each time they meet. Denny, meanwhile, is aware that something is up. Love this deep opens little doorways to the other person’s mind. As Denny begins to intuit that Larry maybe be straying, she must confront her own feelings about herself then decide whether she wants to fight or not. 

The story ends by uniting the various couples in an emotional climax, quick cutting between three scenes of overwhelming excitement. The aftermath of which creates a mysterious air of peace and understanding. This understanding may be short-lived, but it sometimes happens in the world of Heterosexuals.
