SYNOPSIS:
Jessie, an aspiring musician, spends her days working at the local indie cinema, avoiding her hopes and dreams and silently struggling with writer's block. However, her world takes an unexpected turn when she's tasked with training the newest cinema employee, none other than her musical idol, Brianna James, a local indie musician. Training Brianna gives Jessie a newfound purpose; work has meaning again, and Jessie's writer's block falls away. Everything seems perfect until the boundaries between admiration and affection blur, leading Jessie to the startling realization that her feelings for Brianna transcend mere fandom – she's head over heels in love. Also, she can't stop hearing music in her head!
With a hilarious musical soundtrack that lets us in on Jessie's innermost thoughts, Girl Crush is a queer musical rom-com series about discovering your bisexuality for the first time.
