Synopsis by Mark Deming

In this independent drama, Varson (Kenny Young) is a week away from marrying his long-time girlfriend Kiya (Saadiqa Muhammed), and things ought to be going well for him. But that's hardly the case; Varson is having serious trouble negotiating the corporate battlefield at work, and his friend Tyco (Eric Lane) has taken up residence on his couch (and isn't taking the hint that it's time to leave). But these problems seem like small potatoes when Varson is informed that his name appears on a list of men who slept with a woman who has tested positive for HIV, leaving him to wonder if he's contracted the AIDS virus. One Week was the first feature film from writer and director Carl Seaton; leading man Kenny Young also contributed to the screenplay.
