The third feature film by Outfest alum Wendy Jo Carlton finds lesbian couple Kate and Jenna meeting up with single Mia for a fun and sexy threesome. After some alcohol, palm reading, and heavy foreplay, the evening looks to be proceeding nicely — until it becomes clear that everyone came with completely different expectation for the evening. Now, when it all hits the fan, no one will be going home with the partner they originally planned.
