Devon is a shy college freshman who wants a fresh start. She asks the confident Celeste to become her roommate after meeting her at college. Their friendship turns into a long fight filled with lies, jealousy, and passive-aggressive behavior. The story uses dark comedy and follows college life, family problems, romance, and poor choices. The movie focuses on friendship, personal limits, loneliness, and the trouble caused by avoiding honest talks. The women lead the story, but the film does not clearly present their roles as a political message. Some supporting story details include Devon helping a male character face his sexuality and later becoming friends with a female prisoner. These moments add personal and LGBTQ content, but they do not appear to control the whole movie.

Creator track record context
Writer Jimmy Fowlie has a strong queer-centered body of work. Director Chandler Levack has recurring interest in young women and gendered experiences, but her record is mostly personal comedy and coming-of-age work. The film’s content does not match the strongest parts of that background.
