Greetings again from the darkness. A really good friend tells us what we need to hear, not just what we want to hear. We don't all have a friend like that, but Darren (Daniel K Isaac, "Billions") does. As Darren's efforts to propose to longtime partner Elliott (Ryan Jamal Swain, "Pose") continually implode, it takes his straight-shooting friend Lara (Victoria Meade) to point out what the real obstacle might be.
At a very romantic couples' dinner, Darren's efforts are thwarted by a hilarious sequence that results in Darren being shaken and unable to pop the question. Then, Darren must accompany Elliott to Kayla's (Elliott's sister played by Candace Maxwell) engagement party, where the two of them are forced to participate in a quite awkward "Nearlywed Game".
Filmmaker Dave Scala makes 'bad timing' a recurring theme for Darren, who finally realizes (with help from Lara) that perfection in life - or specifically in a relationship- is a pointless goal, one that can't be achieved. The mixture of comedy, insecurities, and true love results in 17 minutes of relatable life.
