Sam's oldest daughter Max is dealing with the consequences of a recent decision, while her middle daughter Frankie is obsessed with her latest love interest. Meanwhile, her youngest daughter Duke is dealing with the loss of a beloved pet.
As Sam navigates her children's struggles, she is also dealing with her own feelings of loneliness and disappointment. She contemplates her relationships with her ex-husband and current love interest, and tries to reconcile her desire for connection with her fear of vulnerability.
