Vivien suspects her mom is having an affair and trails her to find Mom indiscreetly making out with her boyfriend at a local restaurant. Steve and Vivien are a couple, but Steve has been disappearing, not calling or texting when he should. If he can't improve his times, there's no hope of a college scholarship, he's often reminded, and he'll have to work at his dad's garage.
TIME IS UP also focuses on two high school swimmers, Steve (Sebastiano Pigazzi), the team's fastest, and tattoo-covered Roy (Benjamin Mascolo), who lives on the wrong side of the tracks. She's studying physics and, in a voiceover, suggests that people are either like atomic particles, or not.
Vivien ( Bella Thorne) is a high school student who loves numbers.
