Noah, a neurotic writer, spends his time idling in a New York townhouse owned by his mother Carla, where he lives alone--until his childhood friend Daniel moves in. Invited by Carla in a misguided attempt to set the two of them up (even though Daniel is straight), Daniel is hoping to use the space as an office in which to start his new psychiatry practice. He gets more than he bargained for, however, as Noah insinuates himself into the role of a patient. Identities begin to blur until both men end up on the therapist's couch.
