David and his friend Eli are at a bar trying to pick up girls. Carrie enters and catches their eye, but neither immediately acts due to reluctance. A twist of fate sets up a second encounter soon after at a baseball game.

The two cross paths again at a baseball game. Zoe, Carrie's friend and roommate, helps by giving David Carrie's number. David musters the courage to ask her out, and the two begin dating.

Their relationship grows from cheap dates to spending nights at each other's places. They form a deep emotional connection as they learn more about each other. Throughout, characters occasionally break the fourth wall to reveal their inner thoughts.

A sexual encounter at Carrie's workplace leads them to move in together under the belief they are growing closer. They confess their love for each other, which also unsettles their friend Eli who fears losing his childhood friend.

Eli calls David one night and talks about FOMO and commitment fears. The conversation strains Carrie and David's relationship, and they drift apart, ultimately leading to a breakup.

David decides to propose in the bar where they first met. The moment marks a firm commitment and signals the next chapter for them.
