What do we know about the plot of Love, Brooklyn?

The plot of Love, Brooklyn revolves around two women and one man whose dramatic lives are entwined in ways with the challenges of an evolving city life. The story unravels with its focus on a struggling writer named Roger (played by André Holland) who seems to have not found his big break so far.

Roger is a really creative person, and the commercial domination in the industry is what's holding him back from fitting in. He is also under a lot of pressure with his current mundane job and keeps pushing things for later. Betwixed by his tumultuous career, Roger reunites with his ex-girlfriend Casey, who is also burdened by the volatile business of her art gallery.

Putting their past behind them, Casey and Roger try to stay connected as friends while the latter comes across a widowed mother named Nicole, and the two soon get romantically involved. However, things are not that easy for them, as Nicole is scared of commitment and is clearly not ready to be in a relationship yet.

As the two go for a slow and steady start, Casey and Roger try not to revisit their feelings for each other, but it seems like their friendship is turning out to be difficult to deal with. Standing at the vertices of a weird love triangle, Nicole, Casey, and Roger try to balance their work and personal lives in this contemporary world drama.
