Fred, George, Doug and Howie are quickly reaching middle-age. Three of them are married, only Fred is still a bachelor.

But Kathy does not tell them that she is a sociology student researching the sexual life of the white middle-class male.

VIBE

A sharp, witty look at suburban ennui and the desperate search for excitement. It feels like a smoky, late-night conversation about the absurdities of marriage and the illusions of freedom, all wrapped in a stylish, mid-century package.
