The film was shot on the streets and in restaurants of Lower Manhattan, mainly in the Tribeca area. The story follows Buzzy and Katie, a newly married couple trying to enjoy their new life together. Their happiness is interrupted when Buzzy's half-sister unexpectedly appears, and Katie learns that her own sister's marriage is falling apart. The film is a low-budget indie production shot in the naturalistic style for which Edward Burns is known, using real New York locations to create an authentic urban backdrop. Burns both directed and starred in the film alongside Caitlin FitzGerald, and the production extensively uses real restaurants, streets, and residential buildings in Tribeca to ground the family drama in a recognizable, lived-in setting.
