About the project

Still hurting after the collapse of her relationship with Heidi, Tabby reluctantly attends a sleepover hosted by aspiring musician Jaz—only to discover that Heidi is already there. Neither girl knew the other had been invited, and the night quickly fills with sarcasm, jealousy, drinking games and unresolved tension. As old accusations resurface, Tabby finally learns that Brayden—not Heidi—stole the money that ended their relationship. The truth clears Heidi’s name and reignites the intense attraction between them, leading to an apology, a kiss and the possibility of a second chance.

But exposing one lie cannot repair everything that went wrong. As Tabby and Heidi confront the secrecy, judgement and incompatibility beneath their relationship, Jaz and her girlfriend Astrid face problems of their own. By morning, Tabby must decide whether loving Heidi is enough when they may want completely different lives. Raw, intimate and darkly funny, The Sleepover is an LGBTQ+ coming-of-age drama about first love, broken trust and the painful difference between wanting someone and being able to build a healthy relationship with them.
