Anna is a dancer sharing a loft with her created family, dance partner Robbie, and former dancer turned ad-man, Larry. She has a science fiction writing boyfriend, Burton, with whom she has a cordial relationship. When Robbie dies in a boating accident, Anna is devastated. Weeks later as Anna and Larry begin to adjust to life without Robbie, Pale, Robbie’s brother, arrives late at night, high and belligerent; desperate to understand the brother he has lost. Anna and Pale find comfort together for a night. When she realizes how a volatile relationship with Pale will upset the security of her loft family, she recoils. Now each member of this chosen family must make a choice; stay put, or take a leap and learn to risk.
