Attractive singles Doug and Beth meet at a drunken vows renewal reception and end up having sex at an apartment Beth shares with her roommate. Unable to sleep, Doug gets up in the middle of the night and inadvertently wakes Beth with his fidgeting. The two begin some humorously awkward conversation that veers toward their love lives before Beth, wanting to get intimate again, meets with resistance from Doug. After she probes as to why Doug doesn't want to jump back into bed with her he reveals not only his feelings but a surprising bond they share from the past. Fast-moving, sexy and surprisingly poignant The Way We Get By is about lust, love and life.
