Set in Los Angeles a chorus of talkers discuss the ups and downs of love, marriage and breaking up: the 40th anniversary of Hannah and Paul is darkened by jealousy; Joan meets Keenan in a phone booth while breaking up with her current boyfriend; Meredith is an overachiever who sends Trent packing before he has a chance to find a single flaw in her; Gracie and Roger are hot in love, too bad that they are both married to others; Mildred tries to accept that her son Mark is in the final stages of AIDS related diseases; Hugh is a drunk who constantly makes passes at Alice; and Melanie's best friend is a drag queen.
