Elliott, a gritty and angry, twenty-something year old struggles to crack the code for life once his mildly successful band falls apart and resorts to living in his friend's basement while working at a coffee shop. Summer, the literal personification of the sun, orders the same thing every morning and manages to never wear the same sweater twice, at least in front of Elliott. After Summer mumbles her number from behind the lid of a coffee cup, they spend their days wrapped in each other's arms and trying to combat self-doubt, an alcohol problem, and life itself.
