On a foggy morning in New York City, a man and a woman are about to run into each other, literally. Upon impact, they fall to the ground in an instinctively protective hug. The fog dissipates, and they stare into each other’s eyes in disbelief, at the sheer magnitude of their bodily collision and their subsequent, spontaneous coupling. They laugh. The man, a writer, invites the woman, an artist, for coffee and they talk until lunch. They date. They fall in love, hard. They marry just two months later. And four years later, their marriage is on the precipice of disaster.
On a foggy morning in New York City, the same man and woman pass through the fog, oblivious of each other’s existence. Until five years later, when the writer finds an oval-shaped locket no bigger than his thumbnail, a tiny white dress painted within the boundary of its golden border.
Lines is about possibilities, about the choices we make – or fail to make. It’s a star-crossed love story; it’s a bitter tragedy. It’s about Josh and Abby and their intertwined lives, together and apart, through births and deaths and the beautiful mess in between.
