A wry, character-driven comedy about a struggling writer confronting her arrested development and unfulfilled romantic hopes during a return to her college town.

Following the lackluster launch of her debut novel, 35-year-old writer Kate Conklin receives an invitation from her former professor and old crush to speak at her alma mater. With her book tour canceled and her ego deflated, Kate takes the trip, hoping it will give her the morale boost she sorely needs. Instead, she falls into a comical regression—from misadventures with eccentric 20-year-olds to feelings of jealousy toward her former professor’s new favorite student.
