Seventeen-year-old Muriel Dearlove has weathered the Blitz unscathed, earning her keep in Miss Chapman's grocery shop. But with her sweetheart, Bill, away fighting and her friends conscripted into the WRENS and WAAF, life has become tedious for Muriel. Then one day an old friend returns from a stint in the Land Army. She is rosy cheeked and looks healthier than ever. Desperate for the chance to broaden her horizons, Muriel signs up to become a Land Girl.

Annie Wilkinson and Bryce McLeay are two friends from Nebraska living in Los Angeles. They are also exactly who they claim to be: Nobodies. Annie's siblings may have hundreds of thousands of followers and Bryce may have worked for a few A-List celebrities, but no one cares who they are. Each week, they're either dissecting the latest pop culture headlines, or are joined by a guest for a "Somebody Session," in hopes of figuring out how to be anything but nobodies. They are self-proclaimed experts on nothing with opinions on everything.

They see greenery take root in the lifeless cracks of dull sidewalks. They see an eagle build her nest atop a forgotten fountain and saplings start to sprout in dark corners. A gray-drab city defined by concrete and steel, vibrations and notifications, transforms into a living garden where apartment buildings overflow with window boxes full of flowers, birds sing songs through day and night and children laugh and tend to their gardens. Watch as nature reclaims this town.
