Initially scheduled to be released in the United States on November 17, 2017, by The Orchard, the film was dropped following sexual misconduct accusations made against C.K.

Glen Topher, a successful writer and producer of television dramas based in New York City, informs his ex-wife Aura that their aimless 17-year-old daughter, China, wants to move in with him, presumably because of his wealthy lifestyle.

Ralph, Glen's closest friend, insinuates that China spent her spring break in Florida playing sexual games with her classmates.

China is initially wary of Leslie due to media reports accusing him of being a pedophile but grows interested in him after they converse.

Glen soon enters into a romantic relationship with Grace, who informs him that Leslie has invited China on a trip to Paris with him and some friends.

Leslie tells Glen that he felt inspired by him to accept doing television work and reveals that China rejected his sexual advances while in Paris.
