Dr. Syd enjoys a successful medical practice in the bustling city, but her day takes a turn for the worse when a patient with a terminal illness finally succumbs. Her boyfriend, a surgeon with the ironic nicknames “Mr. Personality” and “Settle For” given by Syd’s best friend, Nurse Brenda, tries to console her. However, he fumbles by suggesting that death is a natural part of life and that she would be a more effective doctor if she maintained emotional distance from her patients. He then casually asks if he can visit her that evening, only to be taken aback when she declines. Brenda advises Syd to take a short break and encourages her to reconsider attending her high school reunion in her quaint hometown.
