Liza Miller, a single mother in her 40s, continues to navigate the complexities of her fabricated identity as a 26-year-old. Following the end of her marriage, she decided to reboot her career and love life by pretending to be much younger. This deception becomes increasingly difficult to manage as her professional and personal lives begin to converge. In this season, her daughter Caitlin has returned home from college and is asserting her independence, adding another layer of complication to Liza's domestic situation. Professionally, the stakes of her lie are heightened when she is assigned to work on an imprint specifically for young readers, a role that necessitates her continued performance of youth.

As her two separate worlds inch closer together, Liza must work even harder to maintain the new life she has built for herself and protect the deception that allows her to function in her new professional and social circles
