How did it get so late so soon?

​
Four marriages, each as distinctive in its emotional intimacy as in its geographic setting. Everyday ups & downs reflect escalating challenges as the couples face a potentially destructive, life-altering obstacle: political intrigue in San Francisco; personal betrayal in Providence, RI; conflicting career ambitions in Bozeman, MT; and unfathomable personal loss in Miami Beach. “...’til death do us part” is more than just a vow, and sometimes love is fatally misplaced.

1 Woman, 1 Man
Robbie & Sloan...for 30 years, it's been just them: Robbie the artist, Sloan the brewmaster...and Art Brew, their cozy gallery/tasting room on Pikes Island, Maine. They're happy; they make a living doing what they love, loving what they do. Robbie, the big sister who raised her kid brother when tragedy left them orphans, and Sloan, the young man with only one memory of Mom & Dad to call his own. Now, after all these years, that padlocked door in Robbie's studio is calling Sloan's name...but what if the paintings Robbie's been hiding unlock memories no one should have to live with? As Robbie's biggest influence, artist Mark Rothko, once said, "Silence is so accurate."

What does it mean to have a child, to choose that reality and responsibility? On the flip side, what are the repercussions of skipping parenthood, either willfully or reluctantly? The marriages of siblings Christopher & Beth irrevocably change as Christopher & husband Carl welcome biological twins via surrogate, and Beth’s husband Tanner realizes, on the eve of his 50th birthday, what his wife’s ambivalence toward children has cost him.
