Georgie, a brazen tween, is thrust into the guardianship of her half-sister Harper whose attempts to parent only lead to exposing their paralleled childhood wounds.
When Harper, a type-A millennial, receives an unexpected call from child protective services requesting that she come pick up her twelve-year-old half-sister Georgie from her unstable living conditions in Vegas, she jumps on the opportunity to be Georgie’s “savior”. But to Harper’s dismay, Georgie doesn’t want to be saved and she only sees Harper’s offer of a “better life in Los Angeles” as degrading. To make matters worse, one of Georgie’s best friends is killed in a fluke accident pushing Georgie into an even darker place. Once again, Harper seizes on the opportunity to prove her sisterly support by volunteering to chauffeur Georgie back to Vegas for her friend’s funeral. This unexpected act of kindness coupled with Harper’s annoyingly structured life begins to win over Georgie’s heart. However, all the trust Harper has worked so hard to gain blows up in her face once Georgie discovers Harper’s true motives. In this dark dramedy, Harper learns she can’t just put a Band-Aid on a broken leg and Georgie realizes she has more in common with her sister than she ever thought.
