Synopsis
In Marriage 2.0, beautiful Bay Area documentarian India (India Summer) wants to love unconditionally - we all do - but as she pushes the boundaries of her relationship with her long-time boyfriend (Ryan Driller), she finds that tearing down boundaries is much easier than creating new rules to live by. Lost in this new cultural landscape of the open relationship, India seeks the sage advice of luminaries such as Christopher Ryan (bestselling author of Sex at Dawn) and Nina Hartley (in an equally sexy, poignant, and hilarious performance as India's mother) - but will she follow it? Set against the vivid, natural beauty of Northern California and San Francisco - the cultural epicenter of the alternative relationship movement - Marriage 2.0 celebrates a modern redefinition of the committed relationship as a springboard for adventure, where unfettered physical and emotional intimacy can fuel our passion while strengthening the bond with those we love.

In the film, MARRIAGE 2.0, "India"(India Summer) is a documentary filmmaker who lives in San Francisco. For 8 years she has enjoyed a relationship with a man named "Eric"(Ryan Driller), who himself, works as an artist and writer. Much of their relationship, we find has been happy, however we learn that part of the reason for that is because India has allowed some adjustments. In other words, she has allowed an open relationship on Eric's behalf. And because of this, Eric has another lady, a younger blonde, named "Kara"(Dylan Ryan), which he occasionally sees. But while she how allowed Eric to have relations with others, she herself, has chosen to remain monogamous. It is something that has not bothered her until now, when the topic becomes the topic of a current documentary piece she is now working. The documentary, titled "Marriage 2.0" is centered around Monogamy, and it's alternative variants - particularly, open relationships. In her interviews for the documentary, she talks to Author Chris Ryan and his partner, Cacilda Jetha who argue the case for open relationship opposed to traditional monogamy. The talks, with these professionals, friends and her mother(Nina Hartley),cause India's thoughts, when it comes to being with only one partner to soon change. It all starts when a getaway she plans for she and Eric, must be postponed because Eric has plans to take Kara out for her Birthday - that's when the jealously finally sets in for her. However, things reach their peak when during a dinner party(which includes a full blown orgy), she finally meets Kara for the first time, and then later catches Eric and Kara in the middle of a steamy sex act. From there, heartbroken and also jealous, India goes on the explore her side of the open relationship as well. However, although she enjoys experimenting and opening her self up more in terms of freedom, she soon accepts that she can love only one partner.
