Following another failed date, Allison seeks support from her best friend Luke and his new girlfriend Hannah. Allison and Hannah’s instant spark leads the trio to laughing and flirting that ultimately makes Allison question her beliefs about monogamy and her own agency in relationships. As she navigates the boundaries between platonic, romantic, and sexual attraction, Allison finds love where she least – or maybe most – expects it.
