Summary

Neal and Emily, a young couple in New York, meet on the street while breaking up a gay bashing, fall in love, and move in together. Too bad a dental supplies convention brings Emily’s over-the-top stepfather, Gene, into town. Along with his samples case, Gene carries family baggage, spurring a confrontation that’s been brewing since Emily was a teen. Bluff is a contemporary drama about trying to outrun your family history.
