After being struck by a bicycle while crossing an East Village intersection, Vera Resnick (Emily Kron) feels a strange and out-of-character connection to the college-aged kid (Liam Yates) responsible for the collision. Is this mysterious connection real? Is it a coincidence that brought Vera and the biker together? Or, are larger forces at play? In this surprising and soulful Manhattan seriocomedy, Vera, her husband (Sid Solomon), and their hippy-chic Texan neighbor (Melissa Macleod) seek truth in the face of deception, exploring matters of fate, family, and self-identity that affect all of their lives.
