Isabelle, in her thirties and recently unemployed, returns to her childhood suburb of Standardsville, Illinois. As she navigates her quirky family dynamics, including a single mother and a neighbor with a past in television, she also grapples with an ex-boyfriend. To make ends meet, she takes on a role as a mystery shopper for a temp agency, immersing herself in the lives of prospective tenants in newly developed suburban communities. This journey explores themes of identity, nostalgia, and the complexities of adult life.
