An offbeat romantic comedy about two socially awkward misfits finding connection through shared weirdness, tempered by unresolved trauma and the bittersweet reality that love doesn't fix everything.

Love blossoms for Lily over double Meaty Boy burgers at mid-day when uber-computer nerd Jarrod comes in and leaves with free extra large fries. After gatecrashing Jarrod's party and proving her skills on the game console, Lily goes down to Jarrod's home town with him so he can settle an old score with a past school bully.
