Jenny has big dreams. She’s going to be a journalist when she grows up. And when she returns home from her grandparents’ house in New York, she’s going to kiss her boyfriend for the first time.

As Jenny navigates social media, the internet, and the world that has gone on without her, she finds everyone is hiding things from her.
