No one sees us the way our pets do - and this pet has plans of his own . . .When solitary and struggling A&E doctor Ivy invites the Geologist home one night, her cat Berry's hackles are raised. As the Geologist becomes more and more a part of Berry's life, Berry determines to get rid of him. Meanwhile, as Ivy wrestles with her feelings for boyfriends old and new, she's entirely unaware of her cat's designs . . .Shifting between the perspectives of Ivy and Berry, we watch them tussle over who they are, how they got there and what they desire.
