Once Natalie arrives in Los Angeles with her best friend Cara, she immediately begins searching for a job in her field. Fortunately for Natalie, Lucy Galloway puts out a job application for a creative and technical animator who can act as an assistant. Natalie comes across the assistant position and is hesitant to apply at first. But with encouragement from Cara, she submits an application.

Lucy Galloway works as the Art Director at Tall Story Animation and is Natalie’s idol. Natalie eventually gets the assistant job at Tall Story Animation but doesn’t find herself elevating since Lucy doesn’t see her as an artist. She even gets fired from Tall Story Animation for presenting work that isn’t original.

However, at the end of the film, things are looking up for Natalie in both parallel realities. In the second parallel world, Natalie finds her voice and is given the opportunity to showcase her animated short film at the South by Southwest Film Festival. Lucy even invites Natalie to come to Tall Story Animation to discuss her next project. Lastly, she ends up with Jake (David Corenswet).
