In the South Coast region of Maine, four young friends will make a decision that will change their lives forever. They decide to move to the borough of Queens, New York.

Laura, his cousin and fellow photographer, is convinced to make the move as well. For her, New York is an escape from an emotionally traumatic upbringing. Peter, their childhood friend and overachiever, recently received his PHD in Pharmacology and will fulfill his dream to work for Veratech, one of the largest prescription drug companies on the East Coast.
