Overview
After fourteen years of living together, Ronnie and Michael decide to get married at an inn in the Pocono Mountains. They are forced to break into a stranger’s cabin when their car slides off the road in a blizzard. With no phone, internet, or television they are forced to do something they haven’t done in years: actually talk to each other. During the course of the evening they begin to question whether or not to actually go through with the wedding.
