The show focus on the odd friendship that forms between two women who met a grief counseling group. Jen (Creator/ChristinaApplegate) a hotheaded and tightly wound widow is trying to pick up the pieces of her life three months after her husband was killed in an unsolved hit and run. Judy (Creator/LindaCardellini) is a blithe spirit who strikes up a conversation with Jen at the group over the terrible coffee. The two quickly become friends, bonding over their shared grief, but not all is at it seems.
The show is a very introspective look into what grief does to a person, darkly comedic, and has refreshingly authentic dialogue between the two female leads.

Judy, however, has terminal cancer, and after a heartfelt few days with Jen that reaffirms their friendship and their importance to one another, she gets on a boat and sails away to spend her last days in freedom.
