Tess Newhart is a woman who values her independence and left‑wing beliefs, raised in a commune and skeptical of conventional romantic tropes. Her ex‑boyfriend, Nick Jamieson, is a polished Republican lawyer who seeks a fast track to partnership.

The story follows Tess as she navigates the tension between her personal convictions and Nick’s expectations, all while maintaining her authenticity in a world that demands conformity.
