On a sweltering summer day in 1984, two urban tanners go to scorching lengths to achieve the ultimate tan. A visibly stressed Constance seizes a rare moment for self-indulgence—a 15-minute tanning break. As she blissfully begins to unwind, her best friend Candice unexpectedly crashes the tranquility. Although annoyed, Constance initially brushes off the intrusion. However, Candice won't shut up, bombarding Constance with a litany of familiar problems. Just as Constance attempts to tune out the nagging, the aerobic dancer neighbors make an appearance, adding to the chaos by blasting music. Caught in the crossfire between Candice's weeping breath and the neighbors' unbearable aerobic dancing, Constance has had it. She snaps and shuts Candice up once and for all.
