Almost every night, Marla's condominium's emergency alarm goes off, turning her into a monstrous perpetually sleep-deprived yoga instructor. Let's just say her nights are more downward dog caught in a rainstorm and less Shavasana. In walks Gab, her charming but infuriating neighbor, who enjoys high-end coffee and witty banter.

The friendship, born of shared gripes, borders on romance. Marla navigates the ups and downs of her complicated life, dealing with her cynicism, healing from her broken past, and another suitor - a much more perfect guy. In the end, all Marla wants is a well-deserved rest.

Experience late-night adventures, personal rediscoveries, and the ultimate luxury of sleep.All Rights Reserved
