Jules and Sol, close friends since college, spend a weekend together dealing with their recent break-ups by drinking heavily, chasing women, and coming to terms with the meaning of their friendship. Jules, a playwright, is coming off a six-year relationship. He's under pressure to finish a play and has had to move back in with his parents because of money problems. Sol, a restaurant manager, is rebounding from a divorce by shacking up with a married woman, sleeping with his roommate, and stealing wine from work.
