Matthew and Amelia were once in love and planning to raise a family together, but a decade later, they have become professional enemies. Amelia has dedicated her life to medical ethics and considers Matthew's job as a high-powered pharmaceutical executive to be ethically corrupt. They're kept in balance only through the intercession of close friends. That balance begins to crumble one night when, coming home to his upscale Philadelphia loft, Matthew finds himself face to face with a boy screaming for help. Homeless for most of his life, ten year old Danny is as streetwise as he is world weary. He'll do whatever it takes to save his three year old sister. What follows is an escalating game of one upmanship between Matthew, Amelia, and Danny, as all three struggle to defend what is most important to them, and are forced to reconsider what they truly want.
