Love makes the world go round. At least that's what Marcel and Kyle believe, until they suddenly discover that love can alternatively flip the world upside-down. When certain elements are set into motion, they tend to stay in motion.
Marcel and Kyle are deply in love - it was love at first sight, and even though they can't legally marry, they vow to find a way to make it work. Enter Sarah, their cute lesbian friend, who offer to marry Marcel so that he can stay in the USA with Kyle. Both of them are young and ambitious, and they are confident that together, they can overcome any obstacle, hurdle any barrier - including the appearance of Kyle's bad-news sister, April. A former prostitute who refuses to label herself sexually, April soon sets her steely eye on Marcel, determined to break apart the two lovers.
April methodically drips poison into their happiness, all under the blind eye of her loving brother, who only sees a sister in need of guidance.
A career mandated move to the West Coast separates the two young lovers, and they soon fall headlong into possessiveness, jealousy and rage; trapped in the tangled emotions found in that space between love and goodbye. Just how far will one of them go to put a stop to the madness?
