Best friends Alex and Bryan have a bitter fight, entirely via text message, after one of them sleeps with the other’s crush. But just as things seem to settle, a surprising development threatens to cause another, even bigger rift.  

ruok takes a witty look at modern communications, and how they can so often lead to even greater misdemeanours and misunderstandings.
