Tensions are high between sisters Tegan and Sara on their first day at a new school. Their relationship became fractured over the summer because Tegan felt cast aside by Sara and their shared best friend Phoebe. As Sara tries to break free from Tegan, Tegan tries to make sense of Sara pulling away and attempts to make friends outside of her sister for the first time.

After a turn in her relationship with Phoebe, Sara is in a funk and can’t stop feeling sad. As a distraction, her new friends decide the best way to cheer her up is to take her to a rave. The idea of going to the rave is the first thing that’s made Sara look excited in a month, so Tegan feels obligated to go as well, despite her fears that they’ll get in trouble.
