SYNOPSIS:
Adam and Jen are a mid-20s couple who got sucked into a high-speed world before they could keep pace with it. Adam, moving his way up the soul-sucking corporate ladder and Jen, trying her best to navigate the world of contemporary art as an Art Gallery manager. Hoping to repair their fleeting connection, the two decide to meet for afternoon coffee as recommended by a TikTok psychologist Jen watches.

On the way to the cafe to meet Jen, Adam passes a homeless woman using a contactless card reader for donations. Not being able to shake this out of his mind, Adam brings this up to Jen at the cafe, assuming she would share in his sentiments. However, what starts out as a lighthearted conversation quickly devolves into a full argument where both Jen and Adam use the homeless woman as a launch pad to vent how they truly feel about each other.
