“As We Are” follows Katy, a New York City server with dreams of becoming a writer, whose life begins to unravel when she finds herself caught between two men: Joseph, her quiet and steady boyfriend with a dream of opening a bar, and Jaidon, his charming but emotionally volatile coworker. What begins as a friendship with Jaidon soon spirals into something messier—blurring boundaries, dredging up buried trauma, and pulling Katy into a pattern of saving others at the cost of herself.
As Joseph fights to hold onto both his dream and his relationship, and Jaidon spirals through grief, infidelity, and self-destruction, Katy must finally confront her own emotional avoidance. “As We Are” is a story of codependency, jealousy, and the painful work of untangling your identity from the people you’re scared to lose.
