Hello (from here) / Chandler Baker & Wesley King.
Maxine and Jonah meet in the canned goods aisle of the grocery store just as the state of California is going into lockdown. Max's part-time job as a personal grocery shopper is about to transform into a hellish gauntlet. Jonah's preexisting anxiety is about to become an epic daily struggle. Max, Jonah, and their friends live together but apart, through hijinks, humanity, and heartbreak. Differences of class, privilege, mental health, and sacrifice are thrown into stark relief by the profound and personal stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic.
