The series will follow Jones’ character, Ashley, as she navigates life in the rapidly gentrifying city of Oakland. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
“The potential series would be a half-hour dramedy centered on Ashley (Jones), who was nipping at the heels of a middle-class life in Oakland, California, when Miles (Casal), her longtime partner and father of their son, was suddenly put in jail.
The show would pick up with her navigating a chaotic and humorous existential crisis after moving in with Miles’ mother and half-sister. Ashley’s world is turned upside down and her neighborhood goes inside out. She has to renegotiate her relationship with a city caught between conflicting identities.” {Via THR}”
