As a pair of youthful friends about to be separated by fate ponder their future lives apart in this metaphysical drama starring Richard Roundtree. His sleep suddenly interrupted by a late night telephone call, studious introvert Wes picks up the receiver to hear the voice of energetic beauty Alison. Alison is boarding a plane for Tokyo in the morning, but before she sets out on her lifelong adventure she wants to meet with Wes for one last night together. As the night turns to morning, Wes and Alison reminisce about their pasts while sharing secrets and pondering the impact of pop culture on the human condition. Through it all, Wes' spiritual guide El Doctor (Roundtree) always seems to have the right answers to the profound questions pondered by the withdrawn young man.
