On a summer night in New York City, five lives intertwine and unravel. Isabel (Elizabeth Banks), a beautiful twenty-five year old photographer, wavers on her commitment to her upcoming wedding. Her mother Diana (Glenn Close), a legendary actress, discovers her husband is cheating. Jonathan (James Marsden), Isabel’s fiancé, tries to protect a secret that will endanger his marriage. Peter (John Light), a young writer, faces his lover’s past while researching a story for Vanity Fair and Alec (Jesse Bradford), an actor, wonders if his affections will ever be returned.

Set in the nightspots, theaters, rooftops, and streets of Manhattan over one night, HEIGHTS is a contemporary story of young people in New York City that sparkles with the wit that is a trademark of Merchant Ivory films. At the center of the story is Isabel, a young woman trying to decide between her life in the city and the prospect of a quiet existence as a suburban wife.

HEIGHTS was Directed and co-written by Chris Terrio and produced by the legendary Oscar-winning Merchant Ivory team of Ismail Merchant, James Ivory and Richard Hawley. HEIGHTS was originally written by Amy Fox as a one-act she then adapted for the screen (along with Terrio).
