Each of us only gets to be a teenager once. Our bodies coursing with hormones and our minds rapidly filling with new information, this is a time that can be chaotic emotionally as we navigate the world while developing into the people we’re going to be. This chaos, which is formative, is obviously difficult to navigate and leads some kids to places like depression, anxiety, anger, obsession, or some combination thereof.
Sweetness is the story of one such teenager. Rylee (Kate Hallett) lives with her father, Ron (Justin Chatwin), and his girlfriend, Marnie (Amanda Brugel). Her mother passed away before the story begins, and all of this has led Rylee to Payton (Herman Tømmeraas). Payton is a pop star, and Rylee is obsessed. His music guided her through the tough times, and she knows in her heart and soul that if she could just meet him, he would be the one person who understands her. There is exactly no chance they will meet, though, unless, of course, there is.
