College freshman Tracy Fishko (Lola Kirke) is having trouble adjusting to college life at Barnard College. She eventually meets and befriends a fellow student, Tony, and even develops a crush on him, but when he begins dating another girl called Nicolette, she feels alone again. On her mother's advice, she contacts her soon-to-be stepsister Brooke (Greta Gerwig), who also lives in New York.
