Richard and Laura Moss, and their friends Evan and Carla Sharp, are leaving Seattle behind to spend a few days on the Oregon coast. Richard has organized the trip to celebrate the pending sale of Evan's reality-video TV show, as well as Laura's potential 'big break' with a news reporting job. But when the weekend takes an unexpected turn, the group soon finds itself navigating a hellish night of betrayal and revenge. 'Impulse' looks at love and friendship in the age of global technology, and the lines of communication running through a world of instant, uncensored expression. In a society drowning in TV news, amateur video and Internet web sites, it's not always clear where entertainment ends and reality begins.
