Lisa is an impulsive and free-spirited aspiring illustrator whose questions over her daughter's future start keeping her up at night, Danny, a socially anxious but gifted journalist, has tried hypnotism, acupuncture, and pills but nothing has helped him get to sleep. 

As the pair become closer through their nighttime charts, Lisa’s partner Veggie feels like there is a whole part of her life that he is not a part of, and Danny’s new girlfriend becomes concerned that he and Lisa may be more than just friends.

The series is directed by John Addis who has previously helmed short features, and was involved in the editorial department on Isle of Dogs, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and The Grand Budapest Hotel among other projects.
