An ex-smoker/weed addict, hope, suffers from immense derealisation episodes (a mental state where you feel detached from your surroundings) but after being kicked out by her mum she goes to live with her auntie. Living in East highland California is very different and hope quickly has to adapt to the changes while constantly trying to keep her old identity hidden, however a boy by the name ashtray wants to see the real, authentic side of her.
