Input: Fact1: onetime wannabe writer became producer of weekly television entertainment news show than rather choice, Fact2: Reilly moves in with Carpo Dumped by live-in girlfriend without warning, Fact3: Tedesko to commit to new relationship and stops, Fact4: Maria shares dream of becoming full-time musician with Iowa Ashley, Fact5: Ashley is involved in affair with considerably older married dentist Griffin Ritso

The circle begins with Tommy Reilly, a onetime wannabe writer who became the producer of a weekly television entertainment news show by design rather than choice, and has stayed with it for the money rather than any professional satisfaction. Dumped by his livein girlfriend without warning, he temporarily moves in with colleague Carpo, an aging Lothario ready to offer unlimited — and useless — romantic advice. At a video store Tommy meets grammar school teacher Maria Tedesko. The two flirt, meet for coffee, and begin to date. Maria, recently divorced, finds it difficult to commit to a new relationship and stops taking Tommys calls. When she discovers shes pregnant, she attempts to reconnect with him, but at the last moment opts to lie and tell him shes leaving town and chooses to raise the child on her own. Marias exhusband, who longs to reconcile with her, is Benjamin Bazler, an apartment house doorman and aspiring songwriter whose obsession is 1960s1970s rock music. He shares his dream of becoming a fulltime musician with Iowa transplant Ashley, an NYU student working as a coffee shop waitress to support herself. Ashley is involved in an affair with considerably older married dentist Griffin Ritso. Although he professes to love his mistress, the once divorced Griffin shies away from leaving his wife Annie Matthews for fear of being a twotime loser at matrimony. Eventually Griffins inability to commit to their relationship causes Ashley to dump him and reject his advances to get her back as she becomes involved in a relationship with Benjamin. Real estate broker Annie is unhappy with her marriage but too moral to consider having an affair. She finds herself confiding in and flirting with one of her househunting clients — Tommy Reilly. Thus the circle is complete. The narrative segments are intermingled with documentarylike interviews in which of the characters address the camera with their thoughts about sex, love, and relationships.
