The film uses recognizable New York City streets to ground a modern comedy about two longtime girlfriends who feel stuck as adult life catches up with them. The plot follows their impulsive road trip and escalating encounters, using real neighborhoods as quick, concrete backdrops that highlight their history, rivalry, and pressure to 'catch up' in life.
