The Hot Tub

A lonely man named Dre works at a fitness center with the girl of his dreams, Kacey. Dre uses the hot tub at the fitness center to escape his dull life and enter an imaginary world where Kacey loves him back. One day, Kacey asks Dre for a ride home and their friendship is sparked. However, when Dre confesses how he feels, Kacey turns him down, and Dre must revert back into his own little world, underwater.
