   Summary

   Chasing new beginnings, Marlow Freeman has moved to the City of Angels (LA). She's successfully gotten herself a new apartment and a new job, but her new surroundings don't feel like home just yet.

   While focused on growing accustomed to her new environment, she unintentionally catches the attention of her new boss, Love Quinn. They begin spending time together outside of office hours, and Love shows Marlow that there are many things in LA worth experiencing; places, people, and love.
