Nova Cardrew has come of age; it is finally time for her to graduate and move on to her assigned career path. But just when she thinks the exam is over, she's forced to face her darkest secrets and learn the truth behind her own existence. When given the choice between her own life and saving the life of another, Nova sticks to her beliefs. In a world where resources are limited and only the fittest are allowed to survive, will she move on to a new life or be declared a dead branch that needs pruning?

In a world not so different from our own Carol-Ann watches as one by one her friends "cross over" into the world of married life, never to be seen from again. It is the night of Julia's wedding, and with only one single friend left, Carol-Ann is desperate to keep her chosen family together.

Nora, an aspiring concert violinist by night and customer service rep by day, struggles through the morning rush at the Springfield Symphony Box Office. The usual managers are away, and Nora is the unwilling leader of its motley crew: Eddie, the nerdy, office clown; Roger, a diligent worker with no social filter; Collin, who's social anxiety is so great he communicates with his fellow employees almost entirely through the piano, and Salma, a badass Muslim woman who's joined their team under mysterious and unfortunate circumstances. With each ring of the phone, we meet an array of hilarious customers, all sixteen brought to life by one exceptional actress. When the infamous high-level donor, Honore Drinkwine demands front row tickets for the Ben Folds concert, Nora must find a way to do the impossible or risk losing her job. However, she might lose her mind in the process.

Gabe, freshly heart-broken by the seemingly perfect Quinn, teeters between catatonic despair and wild ambition. A tough but tender-hearted Al, with a painful past of her own, finds purpose enabling him. Both use one another to hide from the reality they're not willing to confront. When Gabe says he’s found new purpose in attempting to meet every goal on his “not a bucket list,” the puzzle pieces of their timeline are reassembled for the audience, in exploration of love, friendship, and the different stages of life as a 20-something today. But when Al realizes that Gabe is still clinging to the past, their friendship is put to the test, and Gabe is forced to face his demons.
