Damon, a college dropout, has spent the past year merely surviving, doing the bare minimum to get through each day. Meanwhile, his ex-love, Julia, has started a new life on the other side of the country. Life for her is going great, and it seems like the best decision she's ever made—at least, that's what she tells herself.

Both are changed by time and distance, and they must confront each other in a new light, unsure of what to expect from this sudden reconnection.
