Emma, a sharp-tongued New Yorker, is finally ready to leave her chaotic twenties behind. But when her high-powered job and longtime boyfriend both come crashing down, she's forced to confront the adult life she's been avoiding. As Emma navigates unemployment, heartbreak, and the less-than-ideal support of her closest friends, she must decide whether to settle for comfortable familiarity or take a leap of faith into the unknown. With equal parts humor and heart, "How to be a Grown-Up" is a relatable exploration of the challenges - and joys - of growing up.
