In Adulting, Naomi finds her dreams running smack into her past in the form of her ex-boyfriend Aaron Moore, who left her for his own dream job. But with friends, Jennifer and Diedre, a new flame, Kiyan English, and jaunts to Cuba and Chicago; Naomi has more than enough support to keep her on track to get what she wants . . . Or does she?
