The film follows Paula (Middleton), whose California dreams become intertwined with a reunion with her crush Jamie (Everett). A chance errand turns into a cathartic journey through the Midwest, where a budding romance is transformed by a plot for revenge.
Middleton was recently announced as a co-lead opposite Callum Turner in the Apple+ series “Neuromancer,” based on William Gibson’s classic sci-fi novel. She can be seen starring in the Apple+/A24 Feature “Sharper,” opposite Julianne Moore, Sebastian Stan, Justice Smith and directed by Ben Caron.
