By a fateful coincidence, an older coworker knows of an apartment in Brooklyn that has suddenly been vacated by the mysterious Vera Cross.

Amid a year of luxury house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles, Jane seizes the opportunity to complete her second novel, an ambitious work her husband calls "mulatto War and Peace." This sabbatical offers her a chance to escape the instability of her past and pursue her dreams. With newfound hope for stability and success, Jane navigates the challenges of creativity and family life, all while living in an idyllic setting that contrasts sharply with her previous experiences.
A dark comedy about second acts, creative appropriation, and the racial identity–industrial complex Jane has high hopes her life is about to turn around. After years of living precariously, she; her painter husband, Lenny; and their two kids have landed a stint as house sitters in a friend’s luxurious home in the hills above Los Angeles, a gig that coincides magically with Jane’s sabbatical. If she can just finish her latest novel, Nusu Nusu, the centuries-spanning epic Lenny refers to as her “mulatto War and Peace,” she’ll have tenure and some semblance of stability and success within her grasp. But things don’t work out quite as hoped. In search of a plan B, like countless writers before her, Jane turns her desperate gaze to Hollywood. After she meets with a hot young producer to create “diverse content” for a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a “real writer.” She can create what he envisions as the greatest biracial comedy to ever hit the small screen. Things finally seem to be going right for Jane—until they go terribly wrong.
