Jane is living a dead-end life, suffering from money troubles, her parent's relationship falling apart, and her relationship stagnating. She can't wait to make a change, even if it's just moving out of her parent's house to somewhere she can barely afford (to which I can relate). When her high-school friend Natalie comes home from Japan, where she's made a life for herself as a model, Jane's desperation and bitterness reach a boiling point.
