Synopsis

Beth and Doug are both attractive, intelligent, and charming -- neither has ever struggled to find a partner. In the dim light of early morning following a drunken hookup, however, the pair find themselves in uncharted territory. As they flirt, fight, and flounder in the blurry, half-drunk morning hours, facts come to light that lay both Beth and Doug bare and vulnerable -- to each other, to themselves, and eventually to the world outside Beth’s rental apartment.. Fast-paced, sexy, and unexpectedly moving, The Way We Get By is a comedy about lust, life, and that other “L” word.
