==Plot== Milo, a whimsical and emotionally impulsive 20-something living in Brooklyn, is in a phase of her life where everyone around her seems to be growing up except her. Her best friend Noor is pregnant and married to a supportive wife, and their life together is mature and stable. Milo’s other close friend and roommate George is also moving toward a more grounded adulthood, even beginning a serious romantic relationship. Surrounded by these milestones, Milo feels increasingly unmoored and invisible. Her own life lacks structure, direction, and deeper meaning.
