The film begins with a dramatic scene of two individuals leaping from a bridge into the water below, their identities obscured by the distant camera angle. Fast forward to 24 hours earlier… we find ourselves in the apartment of Shawn Holloway, an aimless young woman whose life seems to be spiraling out of control.
