Scott and Jes are brothers. Not to mention the best of friends. Ever since their father walked out on them as kids, they've been a unit.
A successful writer, Scott is fit, well-off and has a highly fashionable girlfriend. Why should he envy his plumper younger brother's underachieving domestic bliss with his new wife Sam?
But following a series of personal and professional disasters, the brothers' lives start to come unstuck, culminating in the return of their long absent father.
As the past comes back to haunt them, Scott and Jes are forced to confront the truth about their relationship - childhood jealousy, hidden resentments, abuse about waist size and all. Can they ever be friends again?
