Two hot messes in LA can't stop hooking up with everyone except each other. Pasta is involved.
Alex, a first-generation latino artist, and Frankie, a professional dancer, navigate the soulless casual hookup culture of Los Angeles. Dating apps and casual sex reign, as they both deny their feelings and continue seeing other people while they fall in love. A series of misunderstandings leaves these two star-crossed lovers oscillating between confusion (ghosting and ignoring) and obsession (sex and pasta). But what happens when they finally meet someone different? Do they even know how to love anymore?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nico Greetham, who plays Alex, is Filipino-American, adding authentic first-gen complexity to scenes with Tio that resonate beyond the script.
The 'pasta' motif wasn't in the original script—Greetham improvised the cooking scene, and Buczek built the entire emotional climax around it.
