Here is Golan, almost thirty; still at The University; his apartment rent paid by his
parents. It's a fun life. Does he need to grow up? The real question is: Does he want to?
Golan's friends are mostly focused on enjoying life. As for his relationships with women,
how can he settle on one flavor of ice cream, when there are so many more out there?
He finally allows his friend Guy to fix him up with his sister, a wonderful, vibrant,
independent woman. As long as she is elusive, Golan craves her company. But once
she decides that they have a future, Golan feels stifled and wants his freedom. As his
friends move on with careers and relationships, he's suddenly alone. And his father is
finally cutting the purse strings. He has serious decisions to make. What will they be?
