Dee, a middle-aged wife and mother, finds herself trapped in a monotonous job and an unfulfilling marriage in International Falls, Minnesota.

This weekend, Tim, a jaded headliner acutely aware of his minor status, arrives.

Their encounter extends into the following day, with both recognizing they’re seeking temporary solace in each other. Tim reveals he’s in the midst of a divorce, has lost custody of his son, and that the night’s performance will be his final act as a comedian. As the line between humor and sorrow blurs, Dee is compelled to confront the universal question: What comes next?
