“Keeping Us All On The Edge Of Our Seats”
Liza Miller, who finds it hard to find a job as a 40-year-old in publishing sector after a 15 years break from work to raise her daughter Caitlin (Tessa Albertson) apparently is forced to change her identity to a 26-year-old millennial in order to provide for herself and her daughter. Liza finds a job as an assistant to Diana Trout (Miriam Shor) with her new fake identity at Empirical Press and befriends a 20-something co-worker Kelsey Peters (Hilary Duff) and tries to fit in the lifestyle of millennials; drinking, partying and leaving the worries of the next day to the next day.
Weaving a professional life with a lie also follows Liza with big baggage as ingenious performances at work present her with recognition at higher platforms, and have people from her past sprouting out, threatening to crumble the world she built on her own terms. Her life becomes an interesting mess when a casual relationship with a younger man who is a tattoo artist named Josh (Nico Tortorella) starts taking serious turns and the lie that consumes Liza’s new life hinders in the way of two of them being together.
The only mutual person between her truths and lies is Maggie, a lesbian painter, and her roommate, as played by Debi Mazar, who is a constant pillar of strength to her and who showcases the power a modern independent woman can exert and hold within herself. To add up to the pile of problems that refuse to let go of Liza, she finds herself getting attracted to her boss’s boss, Charles Brooks played by Peter Hermann, who is the owner of Empirical Press, and with whom getting involved in a love affair would be wrong at several levels. 
Liza’s life becomes a ping pong game, shifting from the reality she was born in, to the new reality she created for herself, constantly protecting her two realities from coming face to face and crashing down to dust. The show is about how survival makes us do some unsaid things, things that might be legally wrong might get us judged from the society, but we anyhow continue doing going against our conscious for our family’s sake.
This show is about the journey of a woman who builds her life around a lie, not to hurt others but to merely survive in a world that would not bow down to talent over its age. But can Liza do this without hurting the ones she cares about? Can she make the world around her understand about her white lie, because after all
“Truth is not whatever you’re comfortable with”
