Plot

The film is about the difficulty of maintaining a solid relationship in modern times. Eight married college friends plus one other non-friend go to Colorado for their annual week-long reunion, but the mood shifts when one couple's infidelity comes to light. Secrets are revealed and each couple begins to question their own marriages. Over the course of the week, the couples battle with issues of commitment, betrayal and forgiveness and examine their lives.

Gavin blames Patricia for the death of their son, Noah, who died in a car accident. Mike is cheating on Sheila with her friend, Trina. Diane got her tubes tied after the birth of their daughter, Kenya, and Terry got Kenya tested to make sure that she was his.
