Mindy, a young, single woman living in New York City meets Fred and she soon takes him back to her place.
Soon after in the pharmacy, after Mindy takes a pill, Fred insists he's suddenly too busy to even have breakfast, so she storms out.
The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, with consistent praise being given towards the lead character Fred's unsympathetic characterization.

"[7] Critic Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote a glowing review of the film: "deftly avoiding both the haphazardness of mumblecore and the fakery of studio romantic comedies, Khoury deploys a light directorial touch marked by assured thesping and a genuine appreciation for neurotic angst.
