Alvaro (Wayne Hodges), a writer in early middle age, walks into a bar giving off an air of loneliness. When he sits down to order a Calvados, the writer locks eyes with Claire (Alisa Levinson), a younger attractive bartender used to the traffic of different, wandering souls into this establishment. They begin a conversation that skirts from confessional to subtly flirtatious. The independent, upfront Claire has heard it all before from men and is suspicious of Alvaro's sincerity. He in turn is married and feels the tension of lines that might suddenly be crossed. You can only know so much about a person from one exchange full of tumultuous chemistry, if ever. Everything from someone's name to the kind of drink served can be a lie in this bar, leaving Alvaro and Claire to decide how far they want to go.
