Synopsis: Some glasses of rosé, a ball drop, and an intimate, uh... sleepover. For most people, that would be the end of that—but not for Sean and Cody. Their one-night extravaganza is kept alive through social media, technology, their ebbing connection, and a shared love of Maggie Rogers. Perhaps this time in their life is just a stepping stone, or will lead them to something else?
Characters:
-
CODY (he/him) - 19. Student in Boston, MA. Proud, ambitious, and cunning.
-
SEAN (he/him) - 20 with a birthday in late February. Student in North Jersey. A critical thinker and social butterfly.
