Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Luke and Brie are indeed, on a first date. At turns exhilarating and frustrating, the night will take them from a dive bar to a house party to the streets of Highland Park. Throughout the evening, earnest Luke does his best to defend his big night from a who’s who of interlopers as he tries to decipher what he views as the many mixed signals from gregarious Brie. As the pair’s developing relationship inches from flirtation towards something more substantive, the evening’s myriad distractions will melt away leaving only snowballing misunderstandings mixed with electric moments of connection, each with the potential to be either the igniting spark or the crushing end of their young relationship.

“It seems to be going well.”
