Away from the frigid, densely packed traffic lines of Boston - Sam, a baker, and Aaron, a painter, have a date... that could've gone better. Is that all that their budding relationship had to offer one another or will time... tell?

After moving to Boston, Sam has some unexpected news that throws things off from the start. Lucky for him, his best friend is in town to help ease him into city life and surprise him with tickets to an art show. And who knows - maybe there's time for some romance along the way.
