Steamed Poultry.

A young man named J.D. is struggling to sustain meaningful friendships. So to combat his struggles, J.D. invites one of his friends; named Kenny, to an impromptu lunch at his house to help strengthen their relationship with each other. Although Kenny has reservations about being invited to J.Ds's house, he accepts J.D.'s invitation. But once there, Kenny questions the validity of J.D. cooking a home-cooked meal for both of them. Kenny is also perplexed with how J.D. has drastically changed his attitude and appearance over the few years they have not talked with each other.
