"Friends at Knives" is a contemporary comedy about two wealthy, dysfunctional couples, blinded by their own egos, fears, and expectations.

On one side, the famous psychoanalyst Phyllis discovers that her husband Sam, the celebrity lawyer, not only is divorcing her but has also cheated on her with almost every woman she knows - including her patients, her best friend, and the one-legged neighbor from the apartment below. Meanwhile, their friends, Carol and Howard, are engulfed in their own emotional trauma. Carol believes that Sam is leaving Phyllis for her, and Howard is having a manic-depressive episode triggered by placing his elderly father in a second-rate nursing home and the thought that his wife does not truly love him anymore.

There is drinking, smoking, and finger-pointing. Infidelities and insecurities rise to the surface, marriages and friendships are brought to the ground. No one is safe, not even the furniture.
