The story takes place at a sex party in New York where as various consenting adults get up to who knows what in the rooms, two people find themselves alone in the kitchen. John is a thirty-something photography intern who has been to these parties before, while twenty-something WASP Julie is attending her first. Although John initially doesn’t realize it, there is already a connection between him and Julie out in the real world, and it is this connection that leads to them exploring their lives and desires in a manner that becomes increasingly emotional and physical as the night goes on.
