I would think of plot in terms of conflict. What's the central conflict of your story?

The characters don't actually have to go anywhere or do anything other than talk to each other. I've been in workshops before where students were given a template and asked to fill it in. For example: two people enter a room, they sit on the couch, one of them cries and the other one leaves. That's what happens but it's not the story. If that makes sense.

Maybe you could think about revision at the dialogue level.
