Homesick freshman Alex is struggling. He has no friends, throws tests, and tolerates his roommate. After he and resident assistant Maggie get talking at a party, the pair hang out the whole night, and—through their freshman-sophomore connection—help each other make sense of the college experience.

A compelling subversion of college romps and meet-cutes, this candid dramedy is astute when it comes to the highs and lows of fleeting connections. Gently capturing the nervousness and isolation of freshman year, Dylan Gelula and Cooper Raiff shine in this delicate directorial debut.
