Pepper, a mid-30s story-boarder by day and illustrator by night, feels trapped when she learns her "ovarian reserve" - ie the eggs left in her ovaries - is dwindling. All of a sudden she realizes she wants a baby but that her relationship is on the rocks. The man she's with has it all - a job he loves and time to wait and figure out whether or not a family is in the cards. She wants it all but doesn't know how to make that dream come true. While sorting out her feelings about life, career, and what it means to be an artist, she explores cryopreservation - egg freezing - and discovers it might be the pause button she needs while she puts the puzzle together. Throughout the series we watch how her art and life are entwined yet also somehow separate. It's a story about coming out and finding yourself at a fork in the road.
