Two first-year university students, who decided to stay with their high school boyfriends, find themselves facing an emotional dilemma when they must perform a "Turkey Dump" during "Drunksgiving" — the chaotic night before Thanksgiving in their hometown. This event, which combines fun with a whirlwind of emotions, serves as the backdrop for them to make one of the toughest decisions of their lives: breaking up with their long-time boyfriends.
As the night of "Drunksgiving" approaches, both girls feel the weight of the responsibility that comes with ending a relationship that has been an important part of their lives for years. However, the "Turkey Dump" is not only a rite of passage in their town; it also becomes a trial for their close, almost codependent friendship. The stress and pressure of the night begin to expose the complexities of their bond as they navigate the emotional rollercoaster of breaking up with their partners.
While their friendship has been the foundation of their lives, the transition to college forces them to confront the reality that they must grow as individuals, separate from their past relationships and their small-town roots. The wild night of "Drunksgiving" — filled with chaos, laughter, and unexpected moments — becomes a reflection of the emotional struggles they both face. Throughout the evening, they must grapple not only with the decision to end their high school relationships but also with the evolving dynamics of their friendship, questioning the sustainability of the ties they've held onto.
The "Turkey Dump" represents a turning point, marking the end of their high school relationships and the beginning of their journey toward emotional independence and maturity. As the night unfolds, the girls begin to realize that their true challenge isn’t just letting go of their boyfriends, but learning to release what no longer serves them, and finding a way to balance personal growth with maintaining a meaningful friendship.
The chaos of "Drunksgiving" will prove to be a pivotal night for the two young women, as they face the reality that growing up involves more than just ending romantic relationships — it’s about rethinking what friendship means and how to embrace the changes that come with stepping into adulthood.
