in which Ian Murphy, Layla, and Evelyn thrive and struggle in various ways with relationships, work, and life in general, but collectively find ways to push forward
Ian Murphy can’t find a job. Layla is facing harassment at her job. At home, the two of them can’t seem to connect anymore either. After one faithful night, she walks out on him leaving him distraught, angry, and self-loathing. Through some cosmic shift, he meets Evelyn, who is impossibly positive and helps make life seem bearable for him again. Though things aren’t going Ian Murphy’s way, he finds solace that things could be worse and will eventually work out; and though Evelyn is openly kind and generous, she can’t totally escape her own internalized demons.
