As We Are follows Katy, a server in New York City with no clear direction—except for her half-hearted dream of becoming a writer and her deep attachment to the people who make her feel less alone.
When her relationship with Joseph, her reserved boyfriend with quiet ambition, turns serious, Katy finds stability she didn’t know she needed. But everything shifts when she grows close to Jaidon, Joseph’s charismatic and emotionally volatile coworker. What begins as an easy friendship turns into something messier—blurring lines, triggering jealousy, and pulling Katy into a dynamic that threatens everything she’s trying to hold together.
As Joseph fights to open a bar and prove himself, and Jaidon unravels under the weight of grief, guilt, and infidelity, Katy is forced to confront the truth: she can’t fix the people around her. And if she doesn’t stop trying, she’ll lose herself in the process.
Told with brutal honesty and emotional nuance, As We Are is a story about codependency, misplaced loyalty, and the painful work of learning who you are without the people you’re scared to live without.
