Four people gather in Maryland ready to attend a reunion at Ursula (Tamara Lawrence)’s house.  Ursula has been caring for her grandmother and is not well herself with diabetes and having lost the sight of one eye.  They were the class of 2002 and this is two decades since they graduated. 

At college, they were part of a group called MERGE – Multi-Ethnic Reject Group but I have no idea what this meant.  Emilio (played by a charismatic Anthony Welsh) is the first to arrive and sample Ursula’s alcoholic Jungle Juice, her secret ingredient on top of the vodka and rum is apparently water melon.  Emilio lives now in Berlin and works as an artist and has a daughter. 

I suppose these reunions were in the past the only obvious way to catch up with so many, to find out who was where and who had done what, whose early promise had been achieved. But surely the advent of Facebook leaves little completely unknown.  When the glamorous Caitlin (Yolanda Kettle) arrives, so does political discussion as she is married to a Republican who was a part of the demonstration at the Capitol.  She has the care of his children but none of her own.
