Cat and Ade have long ago been priced out of Oakland but by the grace of food stamps, student loans, and rent control they are just barely holding on. Determined to remain in the city they've grown to love, they will "fake it till they make it" in job interviews at tech companies they don't understand, babysit for "peaceful" parents, and deal with being women of color in academia. All while trying to find a sense of purpose and appease their worried parents.
