A bittersweet coming-of-age road trip through 1970s Nova Scotia where two teens navigate diverging dreams, emerging sexuality, and the fragility of youthful connection.

It's July 1976, and two Nova Scotian teens, Kit and Alice, are hitting the road with their sights on Sydney and their minds on the future. With them is Kit's new imaginary friend, who looks conspicuously like Andy Warhol, but who assures Kit that he is a spirit animal. Kit and Alice have big dreams, but do they really want the same things?
