What happens when your supposed "built-in best friend" becomes someone you can't stand? When Celia loses her phone after a night out, it sets off a chain of small, seemingly inconsequential, events that force Celia and Josie to accept their incompatibility. Beginning as a morning-after comedy of errors, the fuse is lit for the play to slowly develop into the unravelling of sisterhood. Through clashing personalities and different life stages, distance creeps in. This funny and honest play begs the question: how well do we understand the people we love, and what happens when we don't?
