Frenchie spends "one cool night" with her crush, Andy. They part ways, and it's the last time she sees him alive. Months later, in an attempt to find meaning in his suicide, Frenchie retraces the steps of the last night they spent together. Sanchez deftly constructs a dreamy narrative that captures the lingering repercussions of suicide.
