Humor and hints of complicated romance follow Romina as she tries to strike out on her own in Los Angeles.For Romina, moving from Florida to Los Angeles means getting out from under her family’s accomplished shadow to strike out for her own success.

And after her first crazy morning at LockRoy Post, Romina isn’t sure that she knew what it was going to be like either. Romina hasn’t even gotten her feet under her at the new job when one of her coworkers quits, and she is given some of his oldest and toughest clients in the biz.

Watch Romina get her start in life, rife with seemingly impossible deadlines, lots of takeout, and workplace drama—all illustrated by her own internal monologue brought on by an overactive imagination.
