In this contemporary adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's A Day in the Country, a group of roommates in their 20s move from Colorado to Washington. On their drive up, CJ is intent on seeing the beach for the first time — she wants to go before the group even gets a chance to move in to their new place, which is to the others' dismay. As the group walks along the trails of a large park, they meet a local named Cole who accompanies CJ the rest of the way down to the shore — sparking an ill-fated romance.
