Synopsis
Like a nighthawk at the diner, a young man recounts his story of love gone wrong. His marriage has been quietly growing lifeless, when his wife proposes that they attempt to rekindle their passion through, the dance which first brought them together, the tango. But not any old tango, rather a more risqué partner swapping form of the dance, with different partners in separate venues.
