Cass, 18, lives with her seemingly perfect parents, Sharon and Richard. After dodging a kiss from classmate Josh, she retreats to dating app TindHER and discovers her mom’s profile. When she accidentally swipes right, Cass sneaks into her parents’ room to delete the match, but plans go awry. Through surreal daydreams and her first date, she finds heartfelt reconnection with her mom – and faces coming out to Dad.
