What it is

Emma Kurtzman, a doctor in Los Angeles, and Adam Franklin, a production assistant on a TV musical series, first met as teenagers at summer camp. Years later they reconnect, sleep together and agree to be friends with benefits, keeping things purely physical. The arrangement gets complicated when Adam starts to develop feelings and Emma, uneasy with emotional closeness, pulls back.
