Spoilers ahead
Woodrow and Aiden leave their Wisconsin roots behind and move to Los Angeles, where they improvise a provocative, dangerous hobby—micking a gear-head rebellion by building and testing weapons in empty lots. In a bar that features live acts, Woodrow volunteers for a cricket-eating contest, a peculiar contest that ends with him meeting Milly, who outplays him and takes the victory. Their exchange is light at first—phone numbers are swapped, and Aiden chats with Milly’s friend Courtney—but a spark of curiosity begins to glow between Woodrow and Milly as the night unfolds.
