Sunny was in her junior year at college when her father was diagnosed with cancer, and she came home to help look after him. Two and a half years later, Sunny's dad is still around, and so is Sunny — she works at a bowling alley, keeps an eye on her dad, has a sweet if goofy boyfriend named Neal and a good friend to confide in, Amy. Overall, Sunny is content with her life, but she knows that she's not living up to her potential and at least for the moment has given up on her dreams as a writer. Sunny gets a potent reminder of her current stasis when she gets word Isaac, who she always regarded as a rival in high school, is coming back to town for a visit. As it happens, Isaac and Sunny get along better than expected, and while he's working on becoming a successful comedian, he encourages her to start taking her own talent seriously again. Sunny feels drawn to Isaac in a way she never did before, and she has to consider her future with Neal, as well as her academic and career goals.
