Joanna's mind is like a flashing amusement park at peak season. She is 18 years old and needs ADHD meds to keep her buzzy brain in order. With a depressed father whose sick pay is barely covering the rent, money runs out and Joanna can’t afford her medication. To not become a disturbing and unfiltered version of herself, Joanna has to be creative in her hunt for money. In the midst of the chaos the charming and confident Audrey appears. Now Joanna's got both a bursting mind and an exploding heart to deal with.
