The film stars Heather Graham as Pippa McGee, a free-spirited woman living in New York City who has a series of complicated romantic relationships. David Sutcliffe plays Ian, Pippa's long-distance boyfriend, and Taye Diggs portrays Hemingway Jones, a charming man who becomes Pippa's neighbor.

The film explores themes of commitment, independence, and the complexities of modern relationships. Pippa, struggling to define herself outside of her romantic entanglements, frequently sabotages her relationships due to fear of vulnerability and a desire for autonomy.

The supporting cast includes Sandra Oh and Bruce Gray. The film was generally not well-received by critics, with many finding the characters unlikeable and the plot predictable.
