Film opens with a black screen and silence. Suddenly, an alarm goes off while the screen is still black and there is a cut to an alarm with the time 9:00 AM on it. Betty's hand (Tori) claps down on the alarm, turning off the ringing. There is then a cut to Betty stretching as she wakes up, with a music track starting to play (Reverie (Piano Version) ft. Adarsh PV by Lahar). A voiceover of Betty explaining her situation in a dramatic fashion plays throughout this scene. At the same time, the opening credits are rolling. This is followed by a pan to her desk, where multiple photos, ripped up letters, and flower petals are laid out.
Next, there is a cut to an over-the-shoulder shot of Betty opening her closet door and picking out an outfit. The next part of the film consists of several insert shots of Betty's items and objects that were shown on the desk before. During all this, a POV shot of Betty picking up the pieces of a ripped photo and throwing it away in a trash can is shown.
Following these multiple shots, there is a cut to an over-the-shoulder of Betty putting on makeup and getting ready for the day in front of a mirror. Suddenly, a doorbell rings and the music/voiceover immediately stops playing. Betty glances to the side. This cuts to a POV shot of Betty walking up to the door, opening it, and seeing James on the other side holding flowers. James, with a guilty frown on his face, says, "Hey Betty". This is accompanied by ambient diegetic sound of the wind, birds chirping, and the door creaking.
There is then a cut to a James' POV, looking at Betty, who says, "James, what are you doing here? What do you want?". Cut back to Betty's POV, and James says, "Bette, I just want to talk to you...about everything". Cut back to James' POV, and Betty says, "I'm sorry James, but what's done is done. I really just can't do this anymore. Go home. Bye". Betty goes to shut the door. Betty's POV shows James on the other side of the door begging her to "talk real quick" as she shuts the door. Cut to medium long shot of Betty on the other side of the door looking upset. She slides down the door and put her face in her hand.
This fades to a medium close up of James walking down the street, which cuts to a shot of his feet walking, and back to his face as he notices August, saying "August?". This cuts to a medium close up of August sitting in the driver's seat of her car, rolling down the window, and saying, "Hey hot stuff. Long time no see huh".
This cuts to a medium shot of James walking towards the car so he can start talking to August. This shot is constantly panning between August and James depending on who is speaking at the time. The following is their dialogue:
James: August, I told you I'm done with this, so get over it.
August: James, stop being silly and hop in
James: No. I already hurt the girl I love enough, so I'm not not repeating the same mistake
August: But I'm not going to let you walk all the way home. Just let me drive you.
James: Well, I'm walking.
August: James, just stop being so immature and hop in.
James opens the car door and gets in the car exclaiming, "fine!".
This cuts to a medium close up of James and August arguing. At the same time, music begins to play (Token (feat Cloe Sutherland) by Fernweh) This argument consists of James saying he can't go back to last summer and make the same mistake because he loves Betty, not August. August is replying saying that she knows he felt something, that he should give her a chance, and mentioning how he is single now. The camera tilts up to the sky and their arguing comes to a stop, so only the music is heard. As the camera is showing the sky, the title, "The Hope of it All" appears.
