Maya James is a twenty-something trying to get her life together-or at least make it look like she is. After impulsively dropping everything to move to New York City with her best friend Hazel, Maya is thrown headfirst into the chaos of adulthood, ambition, and relationships. On her first night in the city, she meets Sterling Jackson, effortlessly charming and impossible to ignore, and the two quickly realize their lives are about to intertwine in ways neither expected.
This half-hour sitcom humorously explores career missteps, dating disasters, and the growing pains of your twenties-where no one really has it figured out, but everyone's pretending they do.
