Set in working-class Northeast Philadelphia and told in urban voices, Equal And Opposite Reactions is a romantic comedy about the chain of events that follows when Sally Miller, a newly divorced, financially struggling young mother and Silvio Jablonski, a broken-hearted plumber who shows up to fix Sally’s toilet, learn to their shock that they have something strangely in common.

Their discovery both pulls them into a relationship and leads them down a rabbit hole that causes their lives to become entwined with a constellation of characters including Sally’s over-extended, real-estate-managing ex-husband, Silvio’s seductive, sexually manipulative ex-wife, a shady South Philadelphia salvage yard operator, a desperate young family of illegal immigrants and a socially-conscious African-American lawyer who becomes their advocate.

But will the volatile chemistry of human emotions bond Sally and Silvio in love, or tear them apart?
