Plot
The show centers itself around a podcast host navigating life, and sex in Brooklyn.
It picks up when Phoebe's brother, Jayden decides to run for office in New York City. Phoebe, unwittingly, sleeps with the campaign manager for her brother's opponent. News swiftly breaks that Phoebe and Hamilton have slept together when Phoebe is seen leaving Hamilton's apartment the next morning. This causes a rift between Phoebe and Jayden. Phoebe swears that it was a just a one time thing but is upset with Jayden because she feels like he is slut shaming her for her carefree approach to sexual hookups. The siblings make up as the show continues to center on Jayden's political run for office, Phoebe's attempts to cease attraction for Hamilton, and her work-life balance with her podcast role at the company Parakeet.
