Aspiring writer Hannah gets a shock when her parents visit from East Lansing, Michigan, and announce they will no longer financially support her. Left to her own devices in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, she and her circle of friends must navigate their twenties, 'one mistake at a time'.
Ties the grimaces and grins together with a comedic sensibility that allows you to see these characters as they are with all their irritating and contradictory behavior, but still root for them as they feel their way into adulthood.
