Drink. Smoke. Love. (In this economy, that’s all she can afford.)
ㅤ
Miso used to be a musician, but these days she barely scrapes by as a housekeeper. Her creature comforts – her cigarettes, her whiskey, and her boyfriend – come before everything… so when she finds herself short on cash, she decides to give up her apartment and spend time with her old bandmates. But while it may seem like they all have their lives more figured out than she does, Miso soon discovers that everyone’s lives are complicated.
