Maxine Lee is an Asian American, wannabe Paris Hilton. She lives the American dream, funded by her credit cards without any thought to future consequence. By day, she works as a disgruntled office worker for ten dollars an hour; by night, she transforms into the ultimate party girl, scouring Los Angeles for the next hot spot where they can empty their wallets and drink Cosmos.
Of all places, Maxine meets a guy named “Noodle,” in a nightclub bathroom. Noodle tells her about his love for the Sierras, where he plans a week-long trip, and Maxine convinces him to take her along. On the way, Maxine persuades him to cancel his cabin so that they can stay at a four-star luxury hotel instead. But when her credit card is declined and the cabin that Noodle has booked has since been given away, the two find themselves camping in the woods without the luxuries of modern-day life.
Without an operating credit card and little cash, Maxine is forced to face nature and its simplicity. She awakens to what is important in life, and begins to fall for Noodle. But an unexpected event occurs in the wilderness, changing her life forever.
