Storyline
A pair of comic book authors named Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards, who live in New Jersey, have been best friends since 20 years. They spend their time working in their studio, and in the evenings they are going out. But their friendship is about to be disputed for the first time in their life, when a beautiful young lesbian woman named Alyssa Jones enters their life and Holden falls in love with her. Now Holden has to deal with Banky's jealousy, and with his new girlfriend's very rich past. Written by rsilberman

Trivia
Holden says he attended a school named Hudson - which is the real school that Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes both graduated from. See more »Goofs
Continuity: In the scene where Banky is drawing an intersection illustrating why a man hating lesbian would be the one to get the $100 bill, he initially draws two complete intersecting streets. The camera then changes to a shot of him and Holden where he clearly pencils in two lines of the horizontal street which he has already sketched. See more »Quotes
