the chariot reversed is an early-twenties coming-of-age queer friendship adventure. After a hectic night out at a concert, Yara falls for local indie singer-songwriter hottie Bailey Martin, throwing their close-knit friend group into chaos. With move-in plans in shambles and the lease for their apartment ending soon, even the tarot cards can’t help them now. This group of young queer bitches must ask themselves: where do we go from here? Featuring indie sadgirl music, Shania karaoke, disco dancing, and lots of gay people drama.

In December of 2012, recently heartbroken Sofia flees to a frigid new town to teach high school English. When she is suddenly haunted by ghostly visions of her (still-living) ex-girlfriend Addie, she must face her own personal apocalypse with only the help of her My Little Pony-obsessed roommate and two of her teenage students.
