In this coming-of-age drama, our protagonist, a college freshman who escaped the confines of homeschooling, is stuck in her overbearing family. Despite their excitement about newfound freedom, family dynamics take a dark turn when our hero discovers a bet circulating among family members predicting their supposed wild escapades in college.
The protagonist, already grappling with social anxiety, is appalled to learn that their family has placed bets on their personal life, delving into private matters such as their virginity and potential romantic encounters. The family, once seemingly supportive, transforms into judgmental spectators, with the protagonist's parents leading the charge.
Attempting to address the issue, our hero confronts their mother, asking for the deletion of the bet or inclusion in the conversation. However, the mother denies the existence of such a discussion, dismissing the protagonist's concerns as baseless. Frustrated and hurt, the protagonist retaliates by boycotting the upcoming Christmas celebration and refusing to assist their mother during her surgery recovery.
As the curtain falls on this emotional family saga, the audience is left pondering the complexities of boundaries, trust, and respect within familial relationships. The protagonist's actions raise questions about whether their response is justified or if there's room for reconciliation in this family tale of betrayal and embarrassment.
