Die dreiundzwanzigjährige Edie lebt in Bushwick, Brooklyn, und hält sich nach ihrem abgebrochenen Kunststudium finanziell mit einem Assistenzjob in einem Verlag und emotional mit wechselnden Liebschaften über Wasser. Dann beginnt sie eine Affäre mit Eric, einem weißen Mann, der in einer offenen Ehe lebt und fast doppelt so alt ist wie sie. Während sich Edie mit Erics Ehefrau und vor allem mit der Adoptivtochter des Paares, Akila, einem Schwarzen Mädchen, anfreundet, verschieben sich alle Perspektiven.

Edie is just trying to survive. She’s messing up in her dead-end admin job in her all-white office, she is sleeping with all the wrong men and she has failed at the only thing that meant anything to her: painting. No one seems to care that she doesn’t really know what she’s doing with her life beyond looking for her next hook-up. And then she meets Eric, a white, middle-aged archivist with a suburban family, including a wife who has sort-of-agreed to an open marriage and an adopted Black daughter who doesn’t have a single person in her life who can show her how to do her hair.

Edie is stumbling her way through her 20s - sharing a subpar apartment in Bushwick, clocking in and out of her admin job, making a series of inappropriate sexual choices.

And then she meets Eric, a digital archivist with a family in New Jersey, including an autopsist wife who has agreed to an open marriage - with rules.

Edie tem vinte e poucos anos e está tentando descobrir quem é e o que quer ser — tudo isso enquanto trabalha numa editora e faz as piores escolhas amorosas possíveis. Pela internet, ela conhece Eric, um homem branco de meia-idade que tem um casamento aberto e com quem inicia um relacionamento.
