Synopsis:

Fourplay is a serendipitous love story, exploring the themes of obsession and communication. Alice, a care attendant, is in a relationship with Tom, an actor. Tom is currently rehearsing for a role as the lover of Natasha -- and then there is Jack, a social misfit with whom Alice works. As Alice and Tom's relationship disintegrates, Tom begins to take his role as Natasha's lover too seriously. Alice turns to Jack for comfort, not knowing that he has been stalking her for two years. As each relationship falls apart, new and unpredictable bonds form between the four characters, redefining their notions of love and drastically altering their futures.

This Year's Ashes

Ellen lives a shiny life in the heart of a shiny city. She hates her office job, the alcohol isn't making her as drunk as it used to, and she seems to be allergic to the water. But there is always the company of strangers in this city - the stranger, the better. So she's doing fine. Except, savage grief has Ellen in its grip and it's getting tighter. And the anonymous guy she's going home with may not be so anonymous.
