Lily Trevino receives a text message from her boyfriend meant for another woman, which prompts her to end their relationship. She then tries to share her feelings with her father, Bob, through poetry, but he dismisses her and shows misogynistic photos of women to impress others at his retirement community.

Lily visits a counselor to discuss her abusive childhood and her mother's abandonment. During the session, she confides her struggles, which deeply affect the counselor, leaving her in tears. Lily offers comfort, showing her desire for connection and understanding.

Lily goes on a date with one of her father's girlfriends, but things go awry when the woman mistakes her for another woman and leaves upset. Her father then abandons her and calls security when she attempts to apologize after her calls and texts go unanswered.

In an effort to reconnect, Lily searches for her father on Facebook and requests to befriend a Bob Trevino with no profile photo. She discovers that this is not her father but a construction manager from Indiana, and begins an online friendship with him.

Lily's online friend, Bob, agrees to meet her after her friend Daphne accidentally causes her toilet to overflow. Bob is surprised at Lily's lack of life skills but shows kindness by buying her tools and sharing coffee at a diner, establishing a new bond.

Bob discovers that Lily has been calling him her dad, which causes him distress. Lily, feeling abandoned, tells him to leave, but he reassures her they can talk it out. They share a heartfelt conversation about their pasts and losses, deepening their connection.

Over the following weeks, Bob and Lily bond by sharing interests, including watching the Perseids meteor shower at Bob's rural property and discussing the scrapbook hobby of Bob's wife. Lily reveals her past trauma with her late dog, which leads Bob to support her rebuilding her confidence with animals.

Lily's real father calls her urgently to arrange a meeting, but she cancels after learning he only wants money. Instead, she writes a poem for Bob, inspired by her feelings about their friendship, which signifies her emotional progress.

Bob faces professional trouble when a site inspection delay causes a lawsuit after an injury. He presents evidence of his responsible work, but in the process, he suffers a heart attack while discussing it with his wife, marking a critical turning point.

Worried about Bob's silence following his heart attack, Lily tries to contact him and eventually goes to his house. She is arrested for attempting to break in, and she discovers her father has removed her from their family photo album to impress a woman, deepening her feelings of betrayal.

Lily begins taking steps to better herself by buying a car, spending more time with Daphne, and reconnecting with her counselor. She writes to Bob about her progress, holding onto hope that he is safe and well.

Despite surviving his first heart attack, Bob suffers a second one and passes away. Lily, Daphne, and Bob's wife Jeannie attend his funeral, where Jeannie shares that Bob read Lily's poem and opened up about their friendship in the hospital.

Jeannie gifts Lily a scrapbook filled with messages, photos, and the poem, serving as a heartfelt memorial of their connection. Lily, Jeannie, and Daphne share an emotional embrace, symbolizing healing and acceptance after Bob's passing.
