Although she was crowned prom queen, something isn’t clicking for Sierra (Soleil Bouchereau) as she finds herself in the incessant gravitational pull of the aloof Henry (William Shewfelt). She spends her summer killing time doing whatever works while in and out of his orbit. Her closest friend Amy (Krista West) awakens to the toxicity of her romantic partner Ray (Zander Wylie) who is coincidentally her work superior at the local Donut Shop. While Ray earnestly attempts to conjure all of the tenderness he can, he watches the ever so gradual slipping away of Amy throughout a never-ending summer vacation.
