Hal Ebbott Among Friends

Annotation

Amos and Emerson have been friends for thirty years. Despite coming from vastly different backgrounds, the two men now form an enviable portrait of middle age: their wives are friends, their teenage daughters have grown up together, their days are passed in the comfortable languor of New York City wealth. They share an unbreakable bond, or so they think. Now, it is Emerson's birthday, and Amos and his family are heading upstate to celebrate in Emerson's beautiful home. Over the course of the weekend, rivalries emerge and tensions escalate, until a final shocking act of violence threatens to tear the two families' finely made world apart. In its wake, each of them must choose: between whom and what they love most.
