Cameron finds the nerve to ask his older brother's former girlfriend Zoe, a beautiful, focused, rather intimidating dance student. With some trepidation Zoe accepts the offer, but the two only stay at the dance long enough to make Cameron's old girlfriend jealous. Meanwhile, bachelor Howard, a witty, successful, career-obsessed day trader, gets pressed into M.C.-ing the dance. His date is Alyson, a sweet, kindhearted single mother of two who is really excited about her first post-divorce date. At first she shrugs off Howard's insensitive, sarcastic wit, but when it hits too close to home, she confronts him about it. As for Charles, he's the ultimate genius on romance and Shakespeare when he's teaching, but at home he resembles Hamlet more closely than Romeo. He and his wife Laura end up going separately to the dance when Charles' biting cynicism cuts too deeply. The story reveals a relationship that has been slowly deteriorating.
