We witness the evolution of the friendship between Franny and David, receiving morsels of information but never quite enough. I believe that when chaos eventually erupts (and it undoubtedly will), we'll be in for an unforgettable experience whether surreal or deeply emotional, it's bound to be a jolt to the system.
