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