About the Show

This new comic drama explores how the ill equipped the young are to lose each other, and whether, when you’ve lost the love of your life, your sense of humor can keep you alive.

In the aftermath of Liv’s untimely death, her boyfriend, Adam, her best friend Cat, and her sister Sally, negotiate everything from a raucous wake to releasing her worldly goods to the Jewish Women’s League. Running the gauntlet of the five stages of grief, the thirtysomething trio compete for who ranks highest on The Grief Meter, reveal hidden unspeakable truths and fail to agree on epitaphs and the allocation of earrings.
