Betty is a love-starved loner tortured by the indignities of her job as a security guard at an anonymous strip mall. She develops a crush on Danny, who works as a bartender at a failing dive at the mall. The stage is set for love and heartbreak, but that’s only half the story; the second half is Danny’s very different perspective on the same events. Joyce Wong’s tragicomic film brings the Rashomon effect to lower-middle class suburbia, following the struggles of two flawed yet deeply sympathetic characters.
