The film follows the story of Kansas local Gail Daughtry, portrayed by Zoey Deutch, who is engaged to her fiancé, played by Michael Cassidy.

In one scene, Vincent hilariously confronts Gail and her team when they inadvertently intrude on his photography spot, leading to a comical exchange.
“Hey!” Vincent exclaims with a hushed urgency. “This is my goddamn tree!
