Named for a street in Philly’s Castro-equivalent neighborhood, Chestnut is an emotional drama steeped in sodium street lights and bar-sign neon, following a young woman through the complex, sexually charged liminal space between college and full adulthood.

Reluctant to leave Philadelphia to take the finance job waiting for her in Los Angeles, aspiring writer Annie (Stranger Things’ Natalia Dyer) meets party girl Tyler (Fargo’s Rachel Keller) and the more reserved, thoughtful Danny (Top Gun: Maverick’s Danny Ramirez), employees of a nearby restaurant, out at a bar. Annie is immediately attracted to Tyler, who pulls Annie into her social circle of locals. Compelled but also confused by where she stands with code-switching Tyler, Annie spends the summer bar-hopping, ghosting her college bestie Jason (Titans’ Chella Man), and avoiding her father’s long-distance career encouragement. But Annie knows she’s on borrowed time, and making a choice about her future is inevitable.
