Under a scorching sun, Jess and Charlie, two 17-year-old girls hang out by the empty pool of a seedy motel, lost in the desert. The two cousins were instructed to keep the motel but they did not get along and bickered at every opportunity. While Jess on her deckchair is absorbed by reading her people magazine, Charlie is bored and dreams of going to the sea. On the radio, the monochoric voice of a leading collapsology researcher predicts an imminent end to the world. Tension rises, the ecological apocalypse announced on the waves suddenly bursts into reality.
