She’s hired to work on Ida B.’s show, Cocoa’s Butter, as an assistant. New to Hollywood and stumbling from relationship to relationship, Hattie searches to find both her voice as a writer and, the right girl.

While they live separate lives, the girls lean on each other for guidance as they navigate their twenties.
