Synopsis: After cheating on her girlfriend, Jade (Grace Rolek) finds herself isolated in a world of newfound heart break. Determined to suffer through the grieving process alone, she refuses to answer calls, texts or communicate with friends and family. In her booze-soaked depression, Jade attempts to rediscover what being alone really means. With no one to blame but herself, she indulges in self-destructive behavior to cope.

Despite her attempts to ignore her estranged best friend, Avery (Cleopatra Boudreau), Jade is surprised to find her showing up at her door equipped with ice cream, Dance Dance Revolution, and magic mushrooms. A night of reckoning and rediscovery of their friendship unfolds to show that platonic soulmates can always find home in each other.

Followed by Q&A with Filmmaker & Cast.
