Long Synopsis

In INERTIA, the lives of four characters are sidetracked by desire into deception, adultery, and incest.

Joseph (Jonas Chernick) cannot accept that Laura (Sarah Constible) doesn't want him anymore. He believes they are still very much in love and all she needs is a little "space" to realize what they have together.

Laura wants to explore other options. She is currently infatuated with Joseph's married friend, Bruce (Gordon Tanner). Joseph believes, with Bruce's help, he can get Laura back. He is unaware that Laura and Bruce slept together when Joseph and Laura first started seeing each other.

Bruce, who recently married Yumi in an effort to leave his pleasure-seeking lifestyle behind, now finds himself attracted to Joseph's nineteen-year-old cousin, Alex (Micheline Marchildon).

Alex, on the other hand, is obsessed with Joseph. Joseph innocently believes she moved to the city to attend university but it doesn't take long for him to realize she has other things on her mind.

In this anti-romance drama, four people blindly follow their desires, and only realize where it has taken them, once it's too late.
