CONVERSATIONS W/ MY EX is about the complexities we face in our past and present relationships. Set in New York City, CONVERSATIONS W/ MY EX focuses on three ex-couples (one gay, one straight and one lesbian) and their varying levels of modern interconnectedness. From owning a business together to trying to avoid each other, the ex-couples must deal with the array of choices each has made to participate in (or avoid) those interactions.
