An unlikely office romance with a side of corporate angst.
Sue ambles through work, life, and love all in the same manner: have no expectations. Once a bar is set, it only leaves room for disappointment. After years of working for the same company, Sue has developed a distaste for corporate culture and an aversion to superfluous socializing with co-workers. Long gone are the days of hyper motivation and genuine excitement.
Sue goes about her days doing the bare minimum and prefers to be left alone. Her joy is coming home to her quiet one-bedroom apartment. This is peace. The ordinary suits her. That is, until the ordinary becomes everything but that.
A new face shows up at work and ignites a series of changes in her otherwise predictable life. Sue's cynical spirit evolves when she bonds with a younger co-worker who helps her find happiness (and alleviates her chronic allergy to people).
This is a story about the little moments that make the heart palpitate, break, and revive again.
