A DJ with traditional Iraqi-American roots explores ethical non-monogamy after meeting a polyamorous couple, testing if she can keep things casual while maintaining her relationship.

At a New Year's Eve party, Eva, the protagonist, is an LA newcomer struggling to enjoy herself, the strain of her recent cross-country move weighing on her. Slipping into the bathroom for some relief, her attempt at solitude is shattered when Breanna, the host of the party, bursts in, seeking a Band-Aid for her blister. Eva immediately helps her, and the two girls get to talking, their conversation flowing from basic introductions to much more. Before Midnight is an exploration of girlhood, the healing power of female friendships, and the raw anxiety of restarting your life.
