Synopsis

Three best girlfriends meet a group of boys on their daily commute. Relationships form, decisions are made and each person is challenged to figure out who they are and what they want from a relationship.

Three best girlfriends hang out together every day on their subway commute to and from school. It's during this daily commute that they encounter a group of boys. Relationships form, decisions are made and each person is challenged to figure out who they are and what they want from a relationship.
