Tuca and Bertie are close friends whose very different ways of moving through the world keep testing and renewing their bond. Tuca's restless energy can conceal uncertainty, while Bertie's anxious planning does not protect her from difficult experiences. Work, dating and the need for support all take on surreal forms in the city they share. In the second season, Tuca begins a relationship with nurse Kara that initially promises a new kind of closeness. As it develops, romance and control become difficult to separate. The animated comedy makes that relationship a substantial part of Tuca's life while keeping the friendship between its two title characters distinct, complicated and emotionally important.
