Simon (Tristan Turner) is an early 30s filmmaker living in New York City with his best friend and roommate, Bruce (Anthony Oberbeck), who works for an airline. As Bruce’s dedicated "travel companion," he gets to fly for free on standby anytime he wants -- an incredible asset for his unfinished, sprawling documentary about humanity, which he can't quite describe but hopes to find in the edit. After a lackluster film screening, Simon's life takes a turn when he befriends Beatrice (Naomi Asa), a fellow filmmaker, and invites her to join him and Bruce at a bar. Bruce and Beatrice hit it off and before long, Simon wakes to find Beatrice in his kitchen. As his roommate's budding relationship gets more serious, Simon begins to fear losing his coveted travel perks. With only two months left until Bruce can change the recipient of his flight benefits, Simon begins to compromise his friendship with Bruce in his pursuit of retaining the free flights. Meanwhile, Simon's jealousy of Beatrice's successful filmmaking career intensifies, and he gradually loses focus on his own creative project as this obsession takes over. Can Simon keep both the benefits and his friendship intact?
