Three strangers are thrown together in one Manhattan apartment: a solitary writer, a Gen Z college drop-out and a spirited parrot named Eureka. As the world outside descends into turmoil, the three of them must learn how to live with and care for one another - and discover what it means to be alive at this complex moment in history.
