And how she's in her thirtiies, single, and so flustered by relationships that she secretly records her conversations, hoping to decipher social cues and find a way to be less alone. Then Theo turns up for a shift at the same food pantry where she volunteers. He's a surgeon fascinated by human organs, a former soccer player, and possibly as weird as Olive.
