Four theater professionals, Al, Louise, Max, and Sy, debate the underlying truths of their work, with Max writing tragic plays and Sy writing comic ones. They're inspired by a real-life story of Melinda Robicheaux, a troubled woman who appears at a dinner party, seeking help to rebuild her life after a failed relationship. As Melinda navigates the party, she uncovers secrets and motives, causing cracks in a marriage and dissolving a decades-old friendship. Max and Sy then rework Melinda's story through their own perspectives, arguing that life is either a tragedy or a comedy.
