Spoilers ahead

Sarah Barton lives in a small Nevada desert town, working as a cashier and sharing a quiet life with her mother. After a coworker’s complaint costs her the job, she starts feeling a little adrift and curious about what might lie beyond the ordinary routine. That curiosity leads her to Pepper, a drifter who has crashed at an antique store run by Sarah’s family. Pepper’s freewheeling, magnetic presence draws Sarah in, and she offers Pepper a temporary place to stay while she figures out her next move. As they spend time together, Sarah finds herself increasingly pulled into Pepper’s nightlife and party-focused world, much to the growing concern of her boyfriend, Haden, who doesn’t understand why she seems to have less and less time for him.
