According to entertainment website Variety, the film follows grad school students Alex (Heaton) and Emily (Silvers) who dream of becoming film-makers.

"In addition to wanting to make it in the movie business, Alex is also grappling with the death of his father, a failed screenwriter.

Those clues send Alex on a quest to find the mysterious and reclusive Billy Knight," the plotline reads.
