When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.
Keef grapples with the fallout from the previous day's events while trying to put his life back in order.
Being "woke" doesn't pay the bills. It also doesn't save you from awkward small talk at parties thrown by rich white ladies.
Keef and Adrienne hook up. Keef's Black People for Rent posters blow up on social media, and get actual responses, which Ayana thinks would make a good story. Clovis capitalizes on the idea by creating merch. Gunter is shaken by the overt racism of some of the responders.
Keef and his friends head to an Oakland artists' salon where he hopes to get in the good graces of the East Bay's artistic elite.
After the events at the salon, Keef and Adrienne discuss how to move forward, Clovis helps Ayana get revenge on her ex-girlfriend, and Gunther tests the bounds of his sexual fluidity.
Another artist has taken over Toast & Butter. Keef takes a bus to meet a lawyer across town, with Clovis and Gunther in tow. Kubby the koala escapes from the zoo, slowing traffic and causing Keef to miss his appointment. He lashes out at the crowd at a rally for Kubby and realizes he needs help dealing with his trauma.
Months later, Keef thinks he's finally arrived in a better place until he's confronted with an unexpected face from the past.
