Double Penny Ryan Frostig

About This Show

Set in the living room of a tiny NYC apartment during the hottest day in June, Double Penny explores sexual promiscuity in the modern era of dating and hookup apps. It centers around Elijah, who has just endured a major crisis, and Tanner and Josh, a dysfunctional Hell’s Kitchen couple. What starts as a couple’s conquest to dominate a friendly stranger, turns south when the heat elevates three conflicting egos to their boiling points.
