A New Orleans queer community attempts to rebuild after a violent event changes the lives of friends and strangers. Ruthie, a trans woman balancing teaching with an attachment to her younger, wilder life, is also becoming a parent with her nonbinary partner Shar. Their relationship faces pressures that cannot be separated neatly from grief, friendship and the practical demands of raising children. The series places their evolving family within a wider ensemble of people seeking pleasure, safety and connection. It is a single-season reimagining with its own characters, setting and emotional history. Sapphic storyline seasons: Single 2022 season: trans woman Ruthie and nonbinary partner Shar navigate parenting and their relationship. Do not relabel Shar as a woman or imply this is an exclusively F/F couple.
