As the mysterious illness spreads rapidly, killing friends and neighbors, Lil's parents are away—her father reporting on the disease in Delaware and her mother stranded in Hong Kong. Left alone, Lil struggles to cope with her isolation and the resurgence of trauma from a past school incident. Amidst the chaos, she navigates a complicated romantic tension between an old ex and a new interest. The situation escalates when the source of her original trauma unexpectedly reappears at her doorstep.
