Spend a few days in the life of Max Kaplan, a 25 year old aspiring actor with a gambling problem, an alcoholic girlfriend, and what's worse, friends who can't seem to admit to their own personal issues. When he loses a bet he can't afford, he's forced to deal with the consequences of his actions by working through the web of lies he's created. An unexpected window of opportunity arises and the stakes get high in this account of denial, aftermath and the changes that follow in Max's life.
