Synopsis
It is New Years Eve. Brian stands outside alone trying to avoid the party inside. He is about to leave before Daisy tipsily asks him to sing karaoke with her. The two have never met. Although at first the strangers awkwardly try to get to know each other, slowly they begin to have a genuine conversation. They open about their problems. While Brian struggles being a competitive rower, Daisy finds her social circle is becoming more unbearable. No matter how different their lives look, the two find common ground through living in uncertain times.
