With no close family and no significant other, Lonnie and his longtime roommate Stan, a widow and non-practicing alcoholic whose been on the on the wagon for many years, etch out an obscure corner of Como Flats to live their lives in modest simplicity.
When personal losses hit close to home, Lonnie struggles to process the feelings, cultivate friendships, and search for a place of belonging and love. A colorful cast of characters kaleidoscopes in and out of Lonnie's life, proving the perceived unrequited love of his life wasn't so unrequited after all.
