To avoid getting evicted from the Bay Arean offices, Ayana throws a rent party that leads to a realization about her readership. Keef discovers something equally distressing about his past.
Keef Knight, creator of Toast & Butter, is a Black cartoonist on the verge of mainstream success. He prides himself on 'keeping it light' and shies away from taking controversial stances. After being racially profiled by overly aggressive policemen, the traumatized Keef finds that he's able to see and hear inanimate objects talking to him. Now more sensitive to racism, and the everyday microaggressions he'd tried so hard to avoid acknowledging in every situation, Keef must figure out how to maintain his relationships and a career as a 'woke' Black man.
