Rebecca "Spud" Fry is a survivor. After recovering from a car crash where her entire family was killed, she's bounced back in a new way: as a YouTuber vlogging about her recovery. In between visits with her physiotherapist, and her best friend Josie West to watch movies, she vlogs and writes a book. It's simple, but it's a good life she never thought she'd be able to have again.
Josie West is the granddaughter of Cormac West, grocery store business magnate. Her family is powerful, large, and can't take no for an answer. And now, they're coming for her: on a weekend when Josie was supposed to watch movies with Rebecca, and record an episode of her podcast, her family comes knocking. Cormac's birthday is coming up, and there are family matters to attend to. Josie's been invited to the Outer Banks for vacation -- nonnegotiable -- but they also invited Rebecca, too. As her girlfriend. Josie's always had a crush on the older Rebecca, ever since they met in their physiotherapist's office, so being her girlfriend -- even pretend -- is the perfect way to travel. What could go wrong?
As the vacation progresses, more sides of the West family emerge. Both Rebecca and Josie must face their limitations, as individuals and within a group, in order to hopefully return home once again happily.
