Plot summary
Kia, a college professor, shares her Chicago apartment with Max, a student who has not had sex in ten months. The two run into Ely at a coffee shop, a woman with long braided hair whom Max dismisses at first. Friends from their circle arrange a meeting between Max and Ely, and Max likes her, though Ely is older and the two have little in common. Ely has been seeing Kate at a distance for more than two years.
