What happens when there's a sudden connection between two people that cannot be pursued?

Matt returns from a break at work to the company lunch room, where he meets new employee Melora

A spark ignites almost immediately, but the blossoming friendship is still subject to life's realities of age, responsibility, and commitment

Meanwhile Matt's wife Arianne has plans for a celebratory evening at home that get interrupted by an unintentional spark of her own

Birthday Boy is about what happens when there's a sudden connection between two people that if pursued could interfere with a life that has been going along just fine

It's about the paths we choose to take and those we choose not to, the commitments we do honor, and the worthwhile sacrifices we must make

In short, it's a celebration of the messy, imperfect, life that being a husband, a wife, a father, a mother, all entails in order to evolve into the grown-ups we're meant to be

Characters

MATT - About to turn forty
MELORA - About to turn thirty, a colleague of Matt's
