Story
Owen and Chloe have been friends since childhood. After graduation, they enter college of medicine together. The guys are so absorbed in learning that there is absolutely no time left for personal life. Due to employment, the relationship does not work, and nature requires its own. And Owen finds a brilliant decision that isn’t his look: try to practice “friendship with advantage”, which implies sex without obligation. Chloe agrees, and their life is filled with new colors. Problems begin when four fellow students, having learned about the specifics of the relationship between Owen and Chloe, offer to expand the circle of “friends with an advantage”.
