Logline: A young couple take a road-trip towards the end of their relationship. Synopsis: Road-trips usually signify a beginning but for Isaac and his partner Levi, this is their last chance to spend time together before they part ways. As they drive closer to their destination, Isaac finds that maybe he isn’t as prepared for this first breakup as he had thought.
