After seven long years in university, fresh graduate and newly minted valedictorian Bria McFarlane moves back home to the suburbs ready to finally take a break. But when her mother, Marie, shares her plan to retire early (and soon), Bria must assemble her life — friends, dating, a place to live, and most importantly, a job to fund it all before time runs out. With her hype girl and most-trusted imaginary confidant, Black Attack, by her side, the series follows the pair as they take on the world… one micro-aggression at a time.

While out for drinks, a couple find themselves in an intellectual discussion of their relationship how they feel about each other. Their clinical honesty is contrasted by the restaurant’s massive mural of open waters behind them that begins to sway and build to crashing waves, a reflection of their current shared emotional reality.

After the parties, jobs, and hook-ups throughout their 20s and into their 30s, eight friends try to hold on to their social group as they get older and life gets complicated. Over a series of dinners, the group deals with loyalty, loss, and an uncertain future as relationships shift and secrets are unraveled — each bringing its own dynamic shifting announcement of reconciliation, unexpected relationships, and betrayal. The city is crumbling, the climate is changing, and worries about the future are making it hard for this group of friends to stay together — but they’ll come to realize everything will be more difficult if they don’t.
