Present, several weeks. Two flashbacks (One set in the early 2010s and one set in the late 1990s).
Takes place across the West Coast/Pacific Northwest of the United States. Mostly in a Hyundai Elantra. Various houses, mansions, farms, an office building, a porn set, a courthouse, a jail, and a police car.
BRIAN (20) meets ASTRID (20) during a hilarious college prank at the University of Oregon.

FLASHFORWARD seven years, where Brian (27) and Astrid (27) are now an engaged couple in a loving relationship.
