Feel the emotion as a marriage quietly unravels and lives change. Alex (Will Arnett), facing middle age and the impending divorce, seeks new purpose in the New York comedy scene. Tess (Laura Dern) is left to confront the sacrifices she made for their family. Both are forced to navigate co-parenting, identity and whether love can take a new form.
