Melanie is a snarky, cynical twenty something movie extra. Chase, her live-in boyfriend, is a ghost writer for Ask Maggie, a local relationship advice column. They both consider themselves to be ‘GGG’, Good Giving and Game for whatever sexual whims that trips the other’s fancy. Tate, their lazy partial rent paying roommate, is just that: the typical slacker roommate. He jumps from odd job to odd job as well as from girlfriend to girlfriend, whether married, unmarried or otherwise attached. They all share a two bedroom flat with only one restroom on the East-Side of Metro City.

Tensions have been building for months as Melanie finds herself burdened with the task of picking up after Tate’s messes daily, let alone covering the rent he refuses to pay. She is angered at his lack of personal responsibility and his unpolished sexual tactics of bringing home young women for late night coitus without regard for the others inhabiting the apartment.

The dilemma of having only one toilet in the small two bedroom flat comes to the inevitable apex: Two people have to use the Loo at the same time. Unfortunately for Melanie, it is Tate who needed to use the facilities while she is already occupying the room.

Tate’s urgency prevails and Melanie allows him to relieve himself in a highly unconventional manner. Situations become increasingly troublesome when Chase comes home unannounced.

’1 Flat 2 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom’ guides three unwitting roommates through a previously verboten barrier: The awkwardness that comes with the release of unrealized sexual tension.
