Frankie just graduated from college, and is moving to the West Coast from her college town in the Midwest. The film tells the story of the final night in her apartment before her trip begins, as she spends time with her best friend Aveline. As the hour grows late, Frankie just can't seem to finally say goodbye; and so she delays Aveline's departure with Midwestern niceties and circular conversation.
All the while, a scarf of unknown significance lingers in Frankie's closet.
