Katie and Nas are best friends, as well as on-again, off-again (but mainly off-again) partners. They share a tiny room in a London flat alongside their landlord, Jeremy, a forgotten 90s TV personality and former host of the hit show Football Lads. Katie bounces from unsatisfying temporary job to unsatisfying temporary job while obsessing over her vitality levels on a smartphone app, while Nas works - in the loosest sense of the word - on a grand project to revolutionize society and politics as we know it, while dodging increasingly urgent queries about her visa from the Home Office. Their friend Emma, meanwhile, seems to have it all figured out, engaged to a nice young man and with a high-status job at tech giant Arko - yet the long hours in the office and the stress of wedding preparation have left her feeling equally highly strung.
