The film was shot primarily in the New York — New Jersey area, using real streets and everyday locations to ground the story of relationships in the 1990s indie comics scene. The plot follows two longtime friends and comic book artists whose work routine, pastimes, and shared identity are disrupted when one falls in love with a woman whose past and self-definition challenge his assumptions. The locations support a mix of everyday nightlife, neighborhood realism, and intimate conversations that create tension between friendship, jealousy, and personal growth.
