Plot

Anna (Lily Carter) and Jacky (Lily LaBeau) were best friends in high school in Tucson, Arizona but have not seen each other in five years. Anna is shy, awkward, and withdrawn while Jacky is outgoing, hedonistic, but unsettled. They both formed an unlikely friendship because they both felt different, but it was this feeling that drove them apart as Jacky moved to Los Angeles. Anna travels by bus to Los Angeles to visit her for a day and the two spend the day together. The two head to a nightclub later that night where Jacky has sex with a man in a bathroom stall, which Anna witnesses. Later on Jacky performs a handjob on a random man in an alley. She gets Anna to do the same even though she is uncomfortable with the situation.

When they return home Jacky apologizes. Anna begins kissing her and the two engage in sexual acts. They then pass the time by playing Go Fish, drinking Tequila and slow-dancing. They discuss how they missed each other but it's clear that Jacky had a much easier time moving on with her life. Anna says that she would always be Jacky's friend, but Jacky dismisses that claim as unrealistic. Anna is put off. The two wind up heading up to the bedroom, making love again. Jacky expresses that she sometimes feels as if something is wrong with her.

The two women spend time in a pool, but afterwards their next conversation becomes heated. Anna admits that she was somewhat pleased when Jacky moved away due to her volatility. Jacky is angry with Anna for not talking to her for five years and accuses her of not being around when Jacky needed her.

Via flashback, it is shown that Jacky previously had sex with someone that Anna was interested in, which pained Anna. Jacky asks Anna why she came to visit her. It's revealed that Anna's parents died in a fire when she was 3 years old and was raised by her grandmother ever since, but she is now dying and Anna is afraid that once she dies, she'll be alone in the world. Jacky is the only person in the world she has really connected with.

Jacky takes Anna to a sex club where she works. Jacky leaves Anna to her own devices at first, telling her to come find her in a few minutes. Anna has a torrid encounter with a dancer (Liza del Sierra), then finds Jacky in a room full of men, where she participates in a gang bang.

In the morning, Anna receives a call and learns that her grandmother has died. She leaves without saying goodbye to Jacky, taking a cab to Union Station.
