" L -   I’ve seen us in a new light now. I see the cracks in the paint, the imperfect strokes. I’d give anything to go back to before. We looked perfect before.

A desperate couple sign up for an unusual form of therapy to finally understand what’s gone wrong in their relationship, but this quickly becomes more than they signed up for.

Stalemate is a sci-fi dark comedy about love and relationships in a technological age.
