Brad retreats from New York back to his family home in New Hampshire. After being betrayed, Emily joins him there as a place of solace. They grow closer and Brad asks her to stay. Emily doesn't love him that way and goes back to NY. Ultimately figuring things out she reaches out to Brad to reconnect. She is nominated for a Tony for her work and she wants Brad to join her. He is distant and unresponsive. We culminate at the Tony awards where Emily and Brad confess their love. A throwback to good old rom-coms set in New York in the same vein as When Harry Met Sally.
