However, their mundane conversation is interrupted when Rose reveals that she's been experiencing a series of unexpected financial setbacks.
In an effort to help out their friend, the girls decide to pool their resources and host a yard sale to raise some much-needed funds. But as they begin sorting through their old belongings, they quickly realize that their treasured possessions may not be as valuable as they initially thought. Amidst the chaos of the yard sale, each of the girls experiences a series of personal crises, and tensions quickly rise.

As the day wears on, the girls struggle to keep their spirits up and make the most of their situation.
