Apathetic 14-year-old Lila (Gina Piersanti) grows envious of her best friend's luck with boys over the course of one particularly uneventful summer in Brooklyn, and begins to insinuate herself into the life of Sammy, a local boy who seems indifferent to her advances. Gradually convincing herself she and Sammy are in a relationship, Lila is confronted by the harsh glare of reality when her delusional stories start to crumble, revealing her true inexperience for all to see.
