Synopsis
Together since college, Matt and Connor are the picture of the all-American couple: they had the perfect June wedding, settled into a typical 2-bedroom starter home, and have until now lived up to the expectations of their parents and friends. But the pressure of maintaining the "perfect" life becomes too much to bear, and in an attempt to escape from reality and create more excitement, Matt and Connor experiment with role-playing. As they become more and more immersed in their characters, they realize that the lines between reality and fantasy have become blurred. They discover that they dont know who they really are, and they decide to rebuild their lives with a completely different approach.
At once comical and insightful, Roles explores the perils of casually following the paths others expect of us and reveals the importance of embracing our individuality.
