Jordan Bartel, a recent high school graduate from Brooklyn, New York, is heading to the University of California, a significant move across the country. He's leaving behind his girlfriend, Rachel, who lives in New Jersey. They're in a long-distance relationship, and it's putting a strain on their bond. As Jordan settles into college life in California, he meets a beautiful and charming girl named Audrey. They bond over shared interests, and Jordan finds himself drawn to her warmth and kindness. As they spend more time together, Jordan starts to question his feelings for Rachel and whether he's ready to commit to a long-distance relationship. Meanwhile, Jordan's family back in New York is dealing with their own struggles. His mother is trying to come to terms with the loss of her husband, Jordan's father, and navigate her new role as a single parent. Jordan's sister, Naomi, is trying to support her mother while dealing with her own grief. As Jordan navigates his new life in California, he must confront the challenges of long-distance relationships, newfound independence, and self-discovery. Will he stay committed to Rachel, or will his feelings for Audrey change everything.
