In this comic exploration of modern relationships, Henry Jaglom plays Drew, a frazzled, recently divorced Californian who moves to New York on New Year's Eve, only to discover that his new apartment is still occupied by its previous tenants - three young women - one of whom, Lucy (Maggie Wheeler) is in the midst of a life crisis of her own. For all concerned, in fact, it turns out to be time to move on.

"WRITER-DIRECTOR-ACTOR HENRY JAGLOM CAPS THE DECADE IN WHICH HE HAS EMERGED AS THE DEFINITIVE INDEPENDENT AMERICAN FILMMAKER, ACHIEVING A NEW LEVEL OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AND COMING INTO HIS OWN AS THE COMPASSIONATE CHRONICLER OF ROMANTIC ANGST WITH 'NEW YEAR'S DAY!'"
