The film follows a woman's emotional and physical journey following a breakup with her lover. After attempting to cope with her emotions by painting her room twice, writing and rewriting letters, and consuming powered sugar for over a month, she eventually leaves her home. She hitches a ride with a truck driver who propositions her for a hand job in exchange for food. They stop at various diners and bars before she arrives at her former lover's apartment. Her ex-lover allows her to stay the night after feeding her, despite initially refusing.
