PlotCharles Swan III is a successful graphic designer living a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles. His world spirals out of control when his girlfriend, Ivana, abruptly leaves him, causing him to plunge into a downward emotional and psychological spiral. Consumed by heartache and self-doubt, Charles must navigate his feelings and face the reality of his past relationships. He leans on his close-knit group of friends, including his best friend Kirby, his manager Saul, and his sister Izzy, all of whom provide varying degrees of support and questionable advice. Through a series of surreal and often comedic fantasies, Charles attempts to reconcile his romantic failures with his current longing and confusion.

These fantastical sequences reflect his inner turmoil and desire to escape the pain of his breakup.
