Six months after the suicide terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York City, four different couples will try to reconcile with the physical, spiritual and emotional loss suffered. Belinda and Tariq are a local couple who argue about wanting to start a family amid political and emotional upheavals; Esther and Will are part of a protest group of left-wing activists who oppose the use of military force; Dean is a married man who has an affair with Angela and does not want to be separated from his wife; Mary and John are another couple who videotape the changes in Manhattan as they see it.
