Sharp-tongued, fearsome Paulina meets lovely, listless Fran one night at a party held near their New England Art School. Together they drift through their classes and nurture their shared dreams of genius. But when their friendship tips from intensity into enmity they find themselves cast out from the halcyon days of art school, divided from one another and set adrift in the increasingly disappointing world of adulthood. For fans of Miranda July and Sheila Heti.
