When Todd fell in love with Olga, he was living the dream. Beautiful woman, beautiful apartment, beautiful life. To show her love for Todd, Olga sucked him into her reality show, moving her entire production company into their apartment. Faster than you can say WTF, Todd's dream turned into a nightmare. Love hurts?
With Todd "under contract," Olga begins work on her next project-her filmmaker daughter, Masha, who lives in LA. A mother's love knows no bounds. Or in Olga's case, no boundaries. Olga proves this by not only "helping" Masha in her personal life, but also "inviting" her to be in the show. In just a few short hours, Olga expresses her love for Masha in oh, so many ways ...and proves that only one letter separates Mother from Smother.
Olga and Todd's new friend (and professional New Yorker), Joey, has decided to open an Oyster business. Olga, business tycoon that she is, has decided to help Joey - despite the fact that a) she knows nothing about business, b) knows even less about oysters and c) he doesn't want her help. But, like a hooker during Fleet Week, Olga can't take 'no' for an answer.
Apparently, it's a law in NYC that everyone has to have a gay, male friend. And since Olga is a law-abiding citizen, she needs to find one. But with so many different kinds of people in the city: Non-binary, Gender fluid, Queer, Cis, Pan-sexual, Omni-sexual, Quadra sexual (someone who'll do anything for a quarter), finding a GMBFF can be very confusing. But Olga, determined to become a real New Yorker, will do her best to figure it out.
Introducing your boyfriend to your mother can be difficult; introducing your boyfriend to your new best friend should be simple ... unless of course, that new best friend is Laura ... a woman who makes Judge Judy look warm, fuzzy, and easy going. But Olga will make sure they get along. Todd, meet Laura; Laura, meet Todd. Let the fun begin?!?.
Olga's relationship rule #346 - do things your partner likes EVEN if you find them boring. For example, knitting, meditating, jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Olga thinks baseball is boring; Todd disagrees. So, he and Joey take her to a Mets game so she can enjoy the great American pastime. To help her pass the time, she does things that are more unexpected than a grand slam, no-hitter, or triple play. It's hard to get on Major League Baseball's "no-fly list" but if anyone can do it, Olga can.
Olga's friend Brenda wants to have a baby. Her boyfriend, Adam (Todd's BFF), does not. This of course is none of Olga's business. Does that deter Olga? Of course not. She has a plan...for Brenda...for Adam...even for Todd. Does the plan involve scrambling eggs? No. Harvesting eggs? Yes. Frozen margaritas? No. Frozen sperm? Yess. Are Adam and Todd on board? Definitely not.
Only in NY could a moving man change Olga's life. Olga met Cheggi on her first day in New York when he was moving furniture into her apartment. He wasn't a very good moving man, but he was a very good man. Olga was losing hope about making it in America, but Cheggi pushed her to move forward, no matter what. Turns out Cheggi's more than a mover; he's a magician because he actually got Olga to listen to someone for the first time in her life. And even though he broke all of her furniture, nothing could break Cheggi's spirit, even when the unimaginable happened.
Today, Joey takes Todd and Olga to the famous Italian San Gennaro Festival in New York. Joey is looking to have a good time playing tour guide. Todd is looking for the perfect street sausage. But Olga, of course, is looking for trouble. She's hunting for characters for her reality show... starting with a real-life Mafia Don. Will Joey have a nervous breakdown? Will Todd have his stomach pumped? Will Olga wake up with a horse's head in her bed?
Olga and Todd are workaholics... and it's starting to affect their relationship. They'd go to Workaholics Anonymous, but they're too busy working. New York is a city filled with couple's counselors, psychologists, and therapists, so of course Olga seeks the advice of single bartenders, divorced friends, and antisocial misfits. Naturally, the advice they give is ridiculous. Even more naturally, Olga takes it.
When most couples have relationship problems, they go to counselors, clergy, or life coaches. Olga goes on vacation. (Talk about doing the work!) But not just any old Club Med, Sandals, Disneyworld boring vacation. She likes risky vacations. You know, vacations that involve bail bondsmen, lying to authorities, and fraud. She also likes to take hostages: Hello Todd.
What to do when your relationship is on the rocks? According to Todd, go to a bar and have a Scotch on the rocks. According to Olga, go online and find Life Coaches (whatever they are). So, she does. Will "coaching" help their relationship? Will it drive Todd to drink? Will it drive the Life Coaches into therapy?
Olga finished filming her first season and it's time to promote it. So, she hires a SMM who directs her to go on YT, IG, TT, TW... and finance it all by selling NFTs. Calling Vanna White. (Translation: Olga hired a social media manager who told her to go on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X... and to fund it by selling Non-Fungible Tokens.) If you have no idea what we're talking about, don't worry, neither did Olga. But she figured it out and created her own fabulous NFTs. Now she just might get sued by the world's most famous private space traveler, Elon Musk.
Todd is half-Catholic, half-Jewish, and according to Olga, totally lost. So, she tries to fix him by exposing him to real spirituality: tea leaves, Tarot, and witchcraft. (How do you find a witch in New York? Simple. Go to WICCAPEDIA!) So, Olga takes Todd to see a witch in Brighton Beach to resolve his spiritual confusion. But first, a sacrifice must be made.
Todd is 50% Italian, 50% Jewish, and when it comes to fixing things, 100% useless... which is driving Olga crazy. Afraid for his life, Todd enlists the help of his BFF (and single dad) Adam. Adam, also afraid for Todd's life, decides to train him. Adam enlists the help of his teenage daughter, Madeline, with this Herculean task. In the end, Todd appreciates Adam, Adam appreciates Todd, Madeline appreciates her father, and Olga... appreciates herself.
In modern America, the only culture is Cancel Culture. Everyone is offended by everything. You can't say this, you can't say that. To which Olga says, "f**k that!" Desperate to keep Olga out of PC Prison, Todd seeks the advice of people in the know: lawyers, friends in HR, and his proctologist (don't ask).
For Olga, looking good on the beach is a very big deal. For Todd, laying on the beach is a very big deal. "Todd, if we go to the beach and you look like your usual hairy-monkey-chihuahua self, what will people think of me?" So Olga (aka, The Giver) gives Todd a painful summer makeover... against his will.
