Jay owns the biggest fast food restaurant in the city of Aiesls. Growing up around his dad's cafe, he learnt the nitty-gritty of fast foods and how to run a restaurant. His strong background in the restaurant business spans from experience with his dad.
While Jay thrived in the fast food industry, Rawlins found success as an author and this created a rift between them. The strain in their friendship grew as Jay’s success in the fast food industry led him to a lifestyle filled with parties and networking events, while Rawlins immersed himself in the solitude of writing. Jay’s carefree attitude clashed with Rawlins’ introspective nature, causing misunderstandings and resentment.
As Rawlins received accolades for his work, Jay felt overshadowed and increasingly disconnected. He struggled with feelings of inadequacy, believing he was living in his friend’s shadow. Meanwhile, Rawlins began to perceive Jay's lifestyle as shallow, leading him to question their shared values.
Conversations that once flowed easily turned tense and awkward. The bond they once had became a growing gap.
Then came Ally from high school, Rawlins' first love, who unexpectedly re-entered their lives. Her arrival stirred up old feelings and memories for Rawlins, reigniting a spark he thought had long faded. For Jay, however, it brought a sense of competition and unease.
Ally seemed to effortlessly bridge the gap between them, but her presence also heightened the underlying tensions. Rawlins found himself drawn to her, reminiscing about their past, while Jay felt increasingly sidelined, fearing that he was losing not just a friend but also a connection to someone who once meant so much to them both.
As they all spent more time together, the dynamics shifted. Rawlins sought to reconnect with Ally, while Jay attempted to keep their friendship intact, struggling to express his feelings without pushing Rawlins away. The three of them navigated this complicated triangle, each grappling with their own emotions, insecurities, and the memories of a time when things seemed simpler.
Will the future ever get simpler?
