Take the L
Kai leaves the nest with optimism as she heads West to begin a life queer and free in the progressive Bay. But just like all dreams, they soon come to an end as she learns the reality of navigating in a predominately male tech world where she’s both ignored and consumed. She eventually finds refuge with free-spirited Zoe, who also struggles with her own invisibility. But as the pressures to succeed test the boundaries of love, they both must learn when the toil of “playing the game” is greater than the “high.” And at some point, they will have to decide when it’s time to take the L.
