The part underneath the premise.
Executive protection agent Hannah Brooks is assigned to guard reclusive actor Jack Stapleton at his family's Texas ranch while posing as his girlfriend. Beneath the celebrity premise, both are using competence and humor to avoid grief they cannot professionally neutralize.
The listening payoff.
