After an intimate online courtship, Danny and Cleo decide to meet in person for the first time. Moments after Cleo’s arrival, and unbeknownst to her, Danny accidentally discovers something utterly shocking in her luggage. As they arrive at Danny’s home and begin to settle in, it’s just a matter of time before Cleo realizes what he’s found. And when she does, the night escalates into a nightmarish comedy of errors. Amidst the chaos, their mutual vulnerability and desire to connect pierces through, and changes their lives forever.
