Abe and Julia are high-profile celebrities embarking on a dangerously flirtatious correspondence, despite being married to other people.

But Anna Ziegler's funny, insightful, and mysterious new drama explores the hidden connections between seemingly disparate people, drawing audiences into an intriguing puzzle and a deeply sympathetic look at modern love."
