Set in the fleeting era of dial-up and away messages, BRB follows 15-year-old Sam, who embarks on a road trip with her older sister Dylan to meet the boy she fell for in a chatroom. What starts as a quest to meet a first love, descends into a chaotic, painfully funny journey of two young women trying to unravel the tender and chaotic intersections of girlhood. BRB is a love letter to early internet girlhood, to complicated sisters, and to anyone who's ever felt both invisible and exposed all at once.
