Urban legend has it that a Nevada reservoir is a time portal--the tease of which is enough to keep life exciting for the Crop, an aimless but spirited group of teenage best friends living in the nearby city of Sparks--enough, that is, until Cleo moves to town hell-bent on reaching 1960s Paris.

Caroline and the crew soon discover the harsh realities of the film industry and the cutthroat world of nepotism, forcing them to confront their own aspirations and desires in this biting satire.
