PlotRonny and Nick are best friends and business partners working to design an electric car engine that sounds like a traditional muscle car. Ronny is dating Beth, and Nick is married to Geneva. During a visit to a botanical garden, Ronny accidentally sees Geneva kissing another man. Unsure how to handle the situation and worried about damaging their friendship and business, Ronny decides to investigate further before informing Nick. He faces several awkward and comedic situations while trying to confirm Geneva’s infidelity and determine the best way to break the news to Nick.
As Ronny digs deeper into Geneva's secret, he starts to unravel emotionally and mentally. He also becomes increasingly paranoid and suspicious, which strains his relationship with Beth. Nick, oblivious to Ronny's discovery, is stressed about their business's looming presentation and pressures Ronny to stay focused. Meanwhile, Geneva’s behavior becomes more erratic, putting Ronny in even more uncomfortable situations. Torn between his loyalty to his friend and the chaos unfolding around him, Ronny reaches a critical point where he must decide whether to reveal the truth to Nick or keep it hidden to save their friendship and business partnership.
