Tre

Tre (Daniel Cariaga), a nihilistic and physically dominant slacker, uses his brains, not his brawn, to seduce a woman seeking revenge against her husband. The woman, a brassy but vulnerable actress/waitress named Nina (Alix Koromzay), moved out of the house after discovering that her husband had kissed another woman…for ten seconds.

Nina's more stable and responsible friend Kakela (Kimberly-Rose Wolter) plays host and witness to her illicit affair. Seeing Nina fall from grace, Kakela begins to question her own devotion to her fiance, Gabe (Erik McDowell).

It is Tre who proposes the perfect experiment to test Kakela's love for Gabe. The experiment only lasts for ten seconds, but it sparks a chain reaction that could change their lives forever.

In his third feature film, acclaimed writer/director Eric Byler (AMERICANESE, CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES) explores the relevance of social institutions such as marriage, work, love, and family in a time when lies and corruption are rewarded over honesty and the rule of law. Sexual temptation and moral ambiguity are the only constants in Byler's searing sequel to his critically acclaimed, surprise nominee of the 2003 Independent Spirit Awards, CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES.

"Compelling, polished, sharply realized . . . performances and script etch the characters in terse, credible, assertive strokes that resist 'explaining all' in terms of personal histories.” (Dennis Harvey, Variety)
