What’s the show about?
The show tells the story of Elizabeth, a 38-year-old city planner returning to New York after twelve years, ready to rebuild her life in the wake of a recent divorce. Standing at a pivotal crossroads, Elizabeth faces a choice that will send her down two parallel paths, each leading to a radically different future.
On her first day back, she reconnects with Lucas, an old friend, and meets Kate, her vibrant new neighbour. These two people offer her very different things. Lucas invites her to join him in the world of activism and Kate offers a lighter diversion—coffee, music, and the temptation of a charismatic guitarist nearby.
As the story unfolds, audiences follow Elizabeth’s journey along these parallel lives, exploring how every decision, no matter how small, shapes the course of destiny.
