Park

First Look

During their lunch break, twelve offbeat characters converge on a secluded public park in the hills above Los Angeles. April (Dagney Kerry) arrives first with the intention of killing herself, but every time she tries, she fails, which only frustrates her more. Meanwhile, in a nearby pet grooming mobile, Ian (David Fenner) is infatuated with his fellow groomer Krysta (Izabella Miko)but is crushed to realize she is planning a kinky rendezvous with a smug attorney named Dennis (William Baldwin). Next, Dennis's wife Peggy (Ricki Lake) and her best friend Claire (Cheri Oteri) arrive to punish and humiliate Dennis. Claire successfully convinces Peggy to move on from men and their passionate kiss emboldens Peggy to a new lifestyle change. In a nearby van, Babar (Maulik Pancholy) and his hunky crush Nathan (Trent Ford) decide to prove to their female co-workers, Meredith (Anne Dudek) and Sheryl (Melanie Lynskey), that they enjoy eating their lunches naked. Sex, love, suicide, betrayal, nudism, sushi and dog grooming -- and you thought it was just a quiet little park.
