While Thomas and Oscar are very much in love, after their first foster child returns to his birth mother, they find that they have different ideas about what making a family actually means.

In a nuke story that takes place in post-blast Los Angeles, three couples gather for a final candlelit dinner. As time creeps to a halt—literally—they share stories, some regrets, a bunch of humor, and, fittingly, love.

For sixteen years, Angelica carried undeserved guilt-her mother died giving birth to her. Neglected and despised by family, she's diagnosed with cancer. After her death, it's her brother Christopher whose world begins to fall apart.
