MAIN CHARACTER

​

KATE CONNELLY 

Twenty years ago, our protagonist found success early on as a screenwriter with her blockbuster TV hit Buddies . The problem? She hasn't written a hit since. Also, she spends wayyyyyyy too much time reliving her glory days. After a messy divorce and living in the midwest for ten years, she's back in New York to prove herself to the world. In the meantime, she's called in a favor to Jess White (who starred in Buddies) to give her an editor job at her booming lifestyle website. The work is frivolous and totally beneath Kate, but it'll pay the bills and give her free access to everything that's hip and cool in New York!

 

Kate used to be fun, and has never had a Plan B.
