Nima (Shawkat) is an actress who's just managed to get what she hopes will be her BreakoutRole from Creator/{{Mark|Duplass}} and Creator/JayDuplass. She meets a freespirited young woman, Sergio (Creator/LaiaCosta), in a gay bar. After they have sex and then get to talking, Sergio proposes an unusual idea-spending a day with a person (including having sex every hour) in order to "fast track" a relationship. Nima, feeling uncomfortable with this concept, declines her offer to try it. She feels intrigued nonetheless by it however, thinking about this after they part. Nima then takes up the offer on the next day, but then struggles to see it through after this.
