Plot
[edit]A nameless young man (Azendé Kendale Johnson), purchases flowers and shows up at the apartment building of his love interest, Naya (Maya Holliday), but when he rings the bell she is too busy breaking up with her best friend, Faye Wood (Taylor Brianna), to answer. The young man gives up and leaves with the flowers, while the conversation with Naya causes Faye to flee the apartment as well. The two of them wind up in the same place at the park, meeting each other for the first time, when Faye mistakes the young man for a complicated figure from her childhood. They spend a romantic afternoon together, but it soon unravels after a strange encounter with Naya, forcing Faye to face the true nature of her relationship with Naya, as well as the person she mistakes the young man for. The next morning, Faye flies to her hometown, but soon realizes she is the stranger in town, unrecognizable to everyone, including Nelly, the boy, and her mother.
