Liz is prone to isolation and avoiding close relationships, with the exception being her roommate and best friend Jamie. Being concerned for Liz’s emotional and mental well being, Jamie invites her to join a tabletop campaign run by Jamie’s partner Nick. At their first game, Liz realizes a woman she’s been seeing casually, Olly, is one of Nick’s long time friends and a player in the campaign. As Liz learns to navigate this dynamic, she learns to open up to new people and allow them into her life. When tragedy strikes and threatens to break apart the newly formed group, Liz must decide if she’s truly ready to allow herself to be close to others, or retreat back into her avoidant tendencies.
*For all roles, we will be considering actors of any ethnicity unless otherwise noted*
