Becca and Jason might save the world, or destroy it. The husband-and-wife design team have created “Your Friends Close,” a video game which forces you to choose between collaboration and backstabbing in a high stakes multi-player competition. At a party celebrating the sale of their game, a sudden betrayal creates an opportunity for one close friend to share in their life-changing success. But at what cost? ? A suspenseful, intimate drama with dark comedic elements and a generous dash of science fiction.

Plot

"Your Friends Close" takes us into the evening of a going away party for a husband and wife team of video game designers who have created a groundbreaking Turing-test based MMO game that questions our relationship to reality, personality, and how well we can truly know one another. The game requires such huge resources, the couple is leaving California to develop it at a huge company in Paris. When it turns out one of them may not be going, the party devolves into a game for the newly vacant "throne." What happens to what we call friendship? The film explores what lengths we are willing to go to in order to "win"... and what we lose in the process.
