Four friends, all graduates
of Hampton Institute, keep a collective journal they call "If This
World Were Mine," and share their personal diaries each month at
a gathering filled with humor, gossip, and affirmation. The four
group members are as different as the seasons, yet they all share
a love of one another. Yolanda, a media consultant, keeps it going
on with a no-nonsense attitude and independence that are balanced
by the theatrics of Riley, a former marketing executive whose marriage
has reduced her to a "kept woman with kids." Computer engineer Dwight's
anger at the world is offset by the compassion of Leland, a gay
psychiatrist whose clients make him question why God ever invented
sex.
But after five years, the once-strong bonds of friendship are weakening,
and the group must handle challenges of work, lost love, and a stranger
in their midst. As the group members confront their true feelings
toward each other, resentments and long-held secrets surface, and
the stability of the group begins to disintegrate. Is their past
friendship strong enough to survive the future? |
