Ada is the girl next door--- who sells pot. When a vote to legalize marijuana passes, she finds her unusual and illegal livelihood suddenly threatened. Her brother urges her to quit her alternative lifestyle and go get a 'real' job.
Her alcoholic roommate can't pay the bills.With both girls strapped for cash, one of Ada's customers tells her about a money-making opportunity 'foot modeling.' Meanwhile, the barista at the local coffee shop asks Ada on a date, but Ada wonders if she is merely the "girl with the drugs" to him. Is she just the "girl with the drugs" to everyone? And what happens if the demand for the "girl with the drugs" becomes obsolete? Welcome to Ada's quarter-life crisis.
