Overview

Riley and Lucy used to be close friends but have since grown apart over the years. While Lucy's long-term boyfriend is away at a bachelor party, she invites Riley to spend the weekend at her family's house upstate (now converted into an Airbnb), a trip they used to take together. Both live in New York, but haven't spent extended time together in years. Unspoken tensions surface as it becomes apparent how much distance there is between the two of them. Over the course of the weekend, they find small but unexpected ways to reconnect.
