After being kidnapped in middle school and forced to join a doomsday cult, Kimmy Schmidt and her three "sisters" reenter the world after a SWAT team rescues them. Shocked to find that the world has, in fact, not ended as their cult's leader had told them, they become known across America as "the Mole Women". After an interview in Manhattan, Kimmy decides not to return to Indiana with the other girls. With nothing but a purple backpack, a middle school education, and an unbreakable spirit, she tries to make a life for herself in the Big Apple. Kimmy's larger-than-life roommate Titus, eccentric landlord Lillian, and wealthy employer Jacqueline help her out along the way.
