One-time college pals Veronica (Sandra Oh) and Ashley (Anne Heche) run into each other at a party. The women, now in their forties and having not seen each other since school, find that their lives have taken radically different paths. Ashley is barely scraping by as a painter of politically charged canvases, while Veronica is married to a wealthy businessman who's about to profit hugely off yet another US-led war in the Middle East.
Within minutes of their reunion, a rivalry is revived, old wounds are torn open, and a Manhattan stairwell becomes home to a woman-on-woman brawl the likes of which are seldom seen outside of martial-arts epics. And now the gloves are off. The new feature from writer-director Onur Tukel takes a set-up that in most films would lead to a heartwarming story of female friendship— and uses it instead as the springboard for an outrageously madcap black comedy.

"It has a certain outlandish purity of purpose which Heche and Oh follow through on with demonic intensity" - Variety
"Our expectations are forced into conjuring hope for a wild, frenzied ride. Onur Tukel doesn't disappoint with this broad satire of American politics and wealth disparity." The Film Stage
