Lex wants two things: a career as a Chemistry professor and marriage to her girlfriend, Jes. Instead, she has spent the past five years marking time.

When Lex receives an invitation to her friend Sarah's baby shower, her situation is thrown into harsh perspective. Lex and Jes live in New York City, where Jes is a tenured professor and Lex works in a temporary research position she has long outgrown. Meanwhile, Sarah has steadily reached one milestone after another - marriage, career advancement, motherhood - and Lex longs for this settled success.

But Lex's professional and romantic goals are at odds. Moving forward in her career means leaving New York and losing Jes. As Lex struggles, her world expands in unexpected ways. She makes new friends, finds new professional opportunities, and renews her relationship with her parents. Still, Lex's problem remains: Jes - the only woman she has ever loved - has set herself between Lex and the life she wants.
