Synopsis
On a recent night, in Weehawken, New Jersey, four couples of differing backgrounds bring eight very different sets of hopes and aspirations to the dinner table of a neighborhood party. When Rick invites Arnita, a fortune-teller, to the house for entertainment, everything is thrown into disarray with the prediction that "one couple will be finished by the end of the year." The foundations of each of the couple's relationships are shaken and their futures called into question. Initially dismissing the prediction as the word of an eccentric, the characters, one by one, find themselves drawn into personal journeys in search of their destinies.
