Janet works at a rundown dog shelter in the woods. She wears black, loves The Smiths, and can’t wait to get rid of her passive-aggressive boyfriend. Her brain is full of anxiety, like “one of those closets you never want to open because everything will fall out and crush you.” She has a meddlesome family, eccentric coworkers, one old friend who’s left her for Ibiza, and one new friend who’s really just a neighbor she sees in the hallway. 

Meet Janet. Janet is sad. Not about her life, about the world. Have you seen it? That's why she works at a dog shelter in the woods, where she can wear a giant coat and avoid human contact. The thing is, she's not out to make anyone else sad. She's not turning up to weddings shouting that most marriages end in divorce. She can still be (kind of) normal when she wants to, she just doesn't want to, most of the time.
