A delicious romantic comedy.

DramaRomance

Not long after moving into her own place, Maggie finds herself with two unsolicited roommates: her recently divorced mother, Lila, and her young brother. The timing is especially bad, considering Maggie has fallen hard for an attractive woman, Kim, only hours before they move in. What could be a nonissue becomes increasingly complicated -- since Maggie's family is unaware of her sexual orientation, and Maggie is not open to sharing that information.

VIBE

A tender, sometimes awkward, look at navigating new love and family dynamics. It feels like a warm hug mixed with the nervous flutter of a first crush, set against the backdrop of everyday life.
