- Synopsis
- Jasper and Hannah are two "hometown heroes" who never fully grew up. Reuniting with Nick, their childhood best friend and recent college graduate, the trio takes a road trip to Hannah's family beach house in Maine where Hannah and Jasper come out to Nick as an item. Meanwhile, getting black-out drunk on a dirty beach just doesn't hit the same anymore and the trio struggles to slip back into their old debauchery while Hannah questions her relationship with Jasper. Hannah can't expect Jasper to change who she is, right? How can they make this vacation fun again?
  Jaspers solution: "Why don't we pretend to be other people?"
