[1] College freshman Jack returns to his home in the New York suburbs, in the wake of news of his life-long dog Stella's imminent death.

He meets her boyfriend Ron, who disapproves of the boys’ raunchy and cavalier rhetoric towards their mother despite their devotion to her.

They leave and spend the night at the arcade, during which Jack wins a toy octopus for Violet, and they kiss her while Oliver is preoccupied.

Feeling torn, he returns home and finds his mother, and they smoke cannabis in an attempt to medicate the dog.

Instead, the three have a run-in with Cassandra, who reveals Violet's past with Jack and that a security guard at the arcade related to one of the dancers observed their kiss.

Draper wrote and directed the film, and produced it alongside Ken H. Keller and Caron Rudner-Keller, under their Related Pictures tag.

Rosemary Lombard was co-producer, and the executive producers were Fred Roos, Jennifer Au, Draper's brother Tim, father William, Stephanie Simon, Evan Hainey, Naisha Arnold, and Nick Styne.
